Cuba y la asintota a los Derechos Humanos obamistas
El texto -que publica una página web de Naciones Unidas- fue elaborado con la participación de organismos estatales y la sociedad civil y recoge que la isla ratificó desde febrero de 2009 la Convención Internacional para la Protección de Todas las Personas contra las Desapariciones Forzadas.
Con este paso, suman 42 los instrumentos en materia de derechos humanos asimilados por el país caribeño, cuyo gobierno asegura que realiza análisis y consultas internas para la futura adhesión o ratificación de otros.
Respecto a las nuevas normas que amplían la base legislativa de los derechos humanos, el documento del EPU, elaborado a partir de las recomendaciones del ejercicio cumplido por La Habana en 2009, contiene las emitidas para el usufructo de tierras, la actualización migratoria, la seguridad social y el trabajo privado.
Los temas migratorio y de las formas no estatales de gestión se encuentran entre los que mayores titulares de prensa generan en torno a la nación caribeña, donde está en marcha un proceso de actualización socio-económica que busca elevar la productividad y la eficiencia dentro del socialismo.
En enero de este año entraron en vigor el Decreto Ley 302 y otras disposiciones que eliminaron la solicitud del permiso de salida para los viajes al extranjero y el requisito de la carta de invitación, así como extendieron de 11 a 24 meses la permanencia fuera del país sin perder la residencia.
Las nuevas medidas posibilitan la salida de menores de 18 años previa autorización de sus padres o representantes legales y el hecho de que emigrados podrán visitar la isla por hasta 90 días, a diferencia de los 30 fijados anteriormente.
También normalizan la entrada temporal de quienes migraron ilegalmente después de los acuerdos migratorios de 1994 con Estados Unidos, si han transcurrido ocho años de su salida; y amplían las causas de la repatriación.
Respecto al sector privado, unos 400 mil cubanos incursionan en más de 180 actividades, con destaque para la contratación de personas, la venta de alimentos, el transporte de pasajeros y cargas y el alquiler de viviendas.
Cuba labora además por alcanzar un desempeño cualitativamente superior en la impartición de justicia, con especial énfasis en la preservación de las garantías procesales en el juicio oral y la interacción más efectiva entre el acusado y su abogado, refleja el informe del EPU que se presentará en Ginebra, Suiza.
A finales del año pasado, altos funcionarios del Tribunal Supremo Popular y la Fiscalía General comentaron a Prensa Latina que en 2013 se trabajará en la adecuación de normas y el establecimiento de otras.
El Código penal, el sistema de justicia de menores infractores y las leyes de Procedimiento Penal, Ejecución de Sanciones y de Policía están en la agenda, precisaron.

Who Speaks for the Cuban People?
Last week the Castro brothers announced the name of the man who, they said, will succeed Raul Castro when–or if–he retires at the end of the new five-year term as president to which he has just appointed himself.
The name is Miguel Diaz-Canel. He’s an apparatchik in the best Soviet style: thirty years in the Communist Party, starting with its youth groups. He’s not particularly well-known on or off the island, which may have recommended him to the Castros: previous heirs apparent sometimes got too big for their britches and had to be dumped. Of course, Canel may be dumped too, at any moment. He has no power base, and no apparent close ties with the Army and security services–who will be critical once the Castros are dead. The day Raul or Fidel is tired of him will be the day his “elevation” is undone. It will be interesting to see whether, in his new post as vice president, Canel is handed any real responsibilities by the Castros. This much is clear: nothing this man has ever done in his life suggests he believes in freedom, democracy, or human rights–or the Castros would never have selected him.
Meanwhile another Cuban is in the news: Yoani Sanchez. She has achieved international recognition as a young (37 years old) blogger whose blog, Generation Y, is followed in 17 languages.
Here’s what President Obama had to say to Yoani in 2009:
"Congratulations on receiving the Maria Moore Cabot Prize award from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism for coverage of Latin America that furthers inter-American understanding. You richly deserve the award. I was disappointed you were denied the ability to travel to receive the award in person.
Your blog provides the world a unique window into the realities of daily life in Cuba. It is telling that the Internet has provided you and other courageous Cuban bloggers with an outlet to express yourself so freely, and I applaud your collective efforts to empower fellow Cubans to express themselves through the use of technology. The government and people of the United States join all of you in looking forward to the day all Cubans can freely express themselves in public without fear and without reprisals."
Recently Yoani was permitted to travel, and after a visit to Brazil is now in the Czech Republic. She is thhankling the Czech government for its support of human rights in Cuba. She will also be coming to America on this trip.
Yoani has posted a comment on the Diaz-Canel selection, and here it is:
"The designation of the number two man in the Cuban nomenklatura has probably been more commented on and discussed outside the Island than inside. In part because for several months the national media has already been suggesting — with constant allusions to this 52-year-old engineer — that he could become the successor to Fidel Castro. So few were surprised when the former Minister of Higher Education became, as of Sunday, yesterday, the “dauphin” of the Cuban regime. Their biological clock has the octogenarians governing the Greater Antilles at a crossroads: either establish the inheritance now or forever lose the chance seems to be dictating the hands of history. So the line of succession has been left to a much younger figure. They have based their choice on their confidence in the fidelity and manageability of Diaz-Canel, trapped between a commitment to his superiors and a conviction of how limited his real power is.
History shows us that the behavior of these dauphins while they are being observed by their bosses is one thing, and something else entirely when those bosses are no longer around. Only then will we discover who the real man is who yesterday became number two in Cuba. However, I have hopes that the fate of our country will not be decided by this Council of State, nor by this presidential chair. I have hopes that the era of the olive-green monarchs, their heirs and their entourage is ending."

Canada Gave Cuban Dissidents Silent Treatment
Prior to leaving, Baird's spokesman said "he [would] use this opportunity to press the need for economic liberalization and respect for human rights."
One columnist in Canada appropriately asked, "human rights organizations in Cuba and abroad have reported an increase in the number of arbitrary detentions for political reasons over the past year (up to more than a thousand a month). Shouldn't our government condemn that publicly, and depart from a long bipartisan policy of silence on Cuba?"
Well, John Baird went to Cuba, and did exactly that.
He met with Castro regime officials to discuss tourism, natural resources and mining investments -- then quietly got on the plane and left.
Baird didn't have the decency to meet with a single pro-democracy activist, not The Ladies in White, not independent journalists, not bloggers. Nada.
It's not that he didn't have time to meet with anyone. After all, the Venezuelan government cancelled his visit there, which was scheduled after the Havana stop.
He didn't do it because he didn't want to risk Canada's business deals with the Castro regime.
(Let's be clear: Canada does not have a single business partnership in Cuba with any entity that is not owned and operated by the Castro regime. Cubans are prohibited from engaging in foreign commerce -- it's an exclusive monopoly of the dictatorship.)
John Baird gave Cuban dissidents the same treatment Canadian tourists and businessmen have been giving the Cuban people for two decades -- a shameful snub.
Sadly, this is what many advocates of normalizing relations with Cuba would like to see the U.S. do as well.
So what "influence" has doing business and sucking up to the Castro regime "bought" the Canadians?
None.
To the contrary, it has allowed the Castro regime to blackmail Canada into a collusive silence

Cuba is the most repressive country in America/ Human Rights Watch

of political dissent. In 2012, the government of Raúl Castro continued to enforce
political conformity using short-term detentions, beatings, public acts of repudiation,
travel restrictions, and forced exile.
Although in 2010 and 2011 the Cuban government released dozens of political
prisoners on the condition that they accept exile in exchange for their freedom,
the government continues to sentence dissidents to one to four-year prison
terms in closed, summary trials, and holds others for extended periods without
charge. It has also relied increasingly upon arbitrary arrests and short-term
detentions to restrict the basic rights of its critics, including the right to assemble
and move freely.
Political Prisoners
Cubans who dare to criticize the government are subject to criminal prosecution.
They do not benefit from due process guarantees, such as the right to fair
and public hearings by a competent and impartial tribunal. In practice, courts
are “subordinated” to the executive and legislative branches, thus denying
meaningful judicial independence. Political prisoners are routinely denied
parole after completing the minimum required sentence as punishment for
refusing to participate in ideological activities such as “reeducation” classes.
The death of political prisoner Orlando Zapata Tamayo in 2010 after his 85-day
hunger strike, and the subsequent hunger strike by dissident Guillermo Fariñas,
pressured the government to release the political prisoners from the “group of
75” (75 dissidents who were sentenced to long prison terms in a 2003 crackdown).
Yet most were forced to choose between ongoing prison sentences and
forced exile, and dozens of other dissidents have been forced abroad to avoid
imprisonment.
Dozens of political prisoners remain in Cuban prisons, according to human
rights groups on the island. These groups estimate there are more political prisoners
whose cases they cannot document because the government does not
allow independent national or international human rights groups to access its
prisons.
Rogelio Tavío López—a member the Unión Patriótica de Cuba dissident group—
was detained in March 2012 in Guantanamo province after organizing a protest
to demand the release of political prisoners. He has since been held in detention
without being brought before a judge or granted access to a lawyer.
Arbitrary Detentions and Short-Term Imprisonment
In addition to criminal prosecutions, the Cuban government has increasingly
relied on arbitrary detention to harass and intimidate individuals who exercise
their fundamental rights. The Cuban Commission for Human Rights and National
Reconciliation—an independent human rights group that the government views
as illegal—received reports of 2,074 arbitrary detentions by state agents in
2010, 4,123 in 2011, and 5,105 from January to September 2012.
The detentions are often used preemptively to prevent individuals from participating
in events viewed as critical of the government, such as peaceful marches
or meetings to discuss politics. Many dissidents are subjected to beatings and
threats as they are detained, even though they do not try to resist.
Security officers virtually never present arrest orders to justify the detentions
and threaten detainees with criminal sentences if they continue to participate in
“counterrevolutionary” activities. Victims of such arrests are held incommunicado
for several hours to several days, often at police stations. In some cases,
they are given an official warning, which prosecutors may later use in criminal
trials to show a pattern of delinquent behavior. Dissidents said these warnings
are aimed at discouraging them from participating in future activities seen as
critical of the government.
In July, at least 40 people were arbitrarily detained in Havana at the funeral of
dissident Oswaldo Payá, who died in a car accident. Police officers broke up the
non-violent procession and beat participants. The detainees were taken to a
prison encampment where they were held incommunicado for 30 hours before
being released without charge.
The government controls all media outlets in Cuba and tightly restricts access to
outside information, which severely limits the right to freedom of expression.
Only a tiny fraction of Cubans have the chance to read independently published
articles and blogs because of the high cost of and limited access to the internet.
A small number of independent journalists and bloggers manage to write articles
for foreign websites or independent blogs, yet those who use these outlets
to criticize the government are subjected to public smear campaigns, arbitrary
arrests, and abuse by security agents. The authorities often confiscate their
cameras, recorders, and other equipment. According to the independent journalists’
group Hablemos Press, authorities arbitrarily detained 19 journalists in
September 2012, including Calixto Ramón Martínez Arias, who remained in
prison without charge at this writing.
The Cuban government uses selective allocations of press credentials and visas,
which are required by foreign journalists to report from the island, to control
coverage of the island and punish media outlets seen as overly critical of the
regime. For example, in anticipation of the March 2012 visit of Pope Benedict
XVI to Cuba, the government denied visas to journalists from El Pais and El
Nuevo Herald, newspapers whose reporting it has criticized as biased.
Human Rights Defenders
The Cuban government refuses to recognize human rights monitoring as a legitimate
activity and denies legal status to local human rights groups. Meanwhile,
government authorities harass, assault, and imprison human rights defenders
who attempt to document abuses. In the weeks leading up to and during Pope
Benedict XVI’s visit to Cuba, authorities detained, beat, and threatened scores
of human rights defenders.
Travel Restrictions and Family Separation
The Cuban government forbids the country’s citizens from leaving or returning to
Cuba without first obtaining official permission, which is often denied to those
who criticize the government. For example, acclaimed blogger Yoani Sánchez,
who has been critical of the government, has been denied the right to leave the
island at least 19 times since 2008, including in February 2012 after the
Brazilian government granted her a visa to attend a documentary screening.
The Cuban government uses forced family separation to punish defectors and
silence critics. It frequently bars citizens engaged in authorized travel from taking
their children with them overseas, essentially holding children hostage to
guarantee their parents’ return.
The government restricts the movement of citizens within Cuba by enforcing a
1997 law known as Decree 217. Designed to limit migration to Havana, the
decree requires Cubans to obtain government permission before moving to the
country’s capital. It is often used to prevent dissidents traveling to Havana to
attend meetings and to harass dissidents from other parts of Cuba who live in
the capital.
Prison Conditions
Prisons are overcrowded, unhygienic, and unhealthy, leading to extensive malnutrition
and illness. More than 57,000 Cubans are in prisons or work camps,
according to a May 2012 article in an official government newspaper. Prisoners
who criticize the government, or engage in hunger strikes and other forms of
protest are often subjected to extended solitary confinement, beatings, restrictions
on family visits, and denial of medical care. Prisoners have no effective
complaint mechanism to seek redress, giving prison authorities total impunity.
In January 2012, Wilman Villar Mendoza, 31, died after a 50-day hunger strike in
prison, which he initiated to protest his unjust trial and inhumane prison conditions.
He had been detained in November 2011 after participating in a peaceful
demonstration, and was sentenced to four years in prison for “contempt” in a
summary trial in which he had no lawyer. After beginning his hunger strike, he
was stripped naked and placed in solitary confinement in a cold cell. He was
transferred to a hospital only days before he died.
The United States’ economic embargo on Cuba, in place for more than half a
century, continues to impose indiscriminate hardship on the Cuban people, and
has done nothing to improve human rights in Cuba. At the United Nations
General Assembly in November, 188 of the 192 member countries voted for a
resolution condemning the US embargo.
In 2009, President Barack Obama enacted reforms to eliminate limits on travel
and remittances by Cuban Americans to Cuba, which had been put in place during
the administration of President George W. Bush. In 2011, Obama used his
executive powers to ease “people-to-people” travel restrictions, allowing religious,
educational, and cultural groups from the US to travel to Cuba. However,
in May 2012 the Obama administration established additional requirements to
obtain “people to people” licenses, which has reduced the frequency of such
trips.
The European Union continues to retain its “Common Position” on Cuba, adopted
in 1996, which conditions full economic cooperation with Cuba on the country’s
transition to a pluralist democracy and respect for human rights.
In June, the UN Committee Against Torture (CAT) issued a report on Cuba in
which it expressed concern about reports of inhumane prison conditions and
the use of ambiguous preventive detention measures such as “social dangerousness,”
among other issues for which it said the Cuban government failed to
provide key information.

Cuba: The Most Repressive Nation in the Americas
From Human Rights Watch's 2013 World Report:
Cuba remains the only country in Latin America that represses virtually all forms of political dissent. In 2012, the government of Raúl Castro continued to enforce political conformity using short-term detentions, beatings, public acts of repudiation, travel restrictions, and forced exile.
Although in 2010 and 2011 the Cuban government released dozens of political prisoners on the condition that they accept exile in exchange for their freedom, the government continues to sentence dissidents to one to four-year prison terms in closed, summary trials, and holds others for extended periods without charge.

Obama's Historic Easing of Sanctions Dramatically Increases Abuse by Castro
To understand what Cuban political repression consists of, the Human Rights Watch 2012 World Report’s section on Cuba describes: “In 2011 Raúl Castro’s government continued to enforce political conformity using short-term detentions, beatings, public acts of repudiation, forced exile, and travel restrictions."
Illumination into Cuba’s political repression can be seen in the Miami Herald’s January 4, 2013 article titled Human Rights Activist Says Dissident Arrests Up In 2012, that quotes Cuban human rights activist Elizardo Sánchez Santa Cruz as stating:
“...the number of political prisoners, which dropped to about 40 after ruler Raúl Castro freed more than 120 in 2010-2011, climbed again last year with the trials and convictions of about 30 Cubans on political charges.”Those releases were due to an agreement with the Catholic church in 2010 pushing for an ease on US sanctions against the Castro regime. Other Latin American nations, political leaders like Senator Kerry and Congressman Collin Peterson, as well as a letter by 74 Cuban dissidents calling for ending the US travel ban on Cuba all supported easing sanctions. US sanctions have eased substantially, though still stringent in many regards. The pace of the sanctions’ easing increased substantially after then presidential candidate Barack Obama’s May 23, 2008 speech in Miami, Florida, in favor of rolling back Cuban American travel to Cuba.
“The United States' economic embargo on Cuba, in place for more than half a century, continues to impose indiscriminate hardship on Cubans, and has failed to improve human rights in the country. At the United Nations General Assembly in October, 186 of the 192 member countries voted for a resolution condemning the US embargo; only the US and Israel voted against it.”
“In January 2011 US President Barack Obama used his executive powers to ease “people-to- people” travel restrictions, allowing religious, educational, and cultural groups from the US to travel to Cuba, and permitting Americans to send remittances to assist Cuban citizens. In 2009 Obama eliminated limits on travel and remittances by Cuban Americans to Cuba, which had been instituted during George W. Bush’s administration.”

"EN TIEMPOS DIFÍCILES" - Heberto Padilla
A aquel hombre le pidieron su tiempo
para que lo juntara al tiempo de la Historia.
Le pidieron las manos,
porque para una época difícil
nada hay mejor que un par de buenas manos.
Le pidieron los ojos
que alguna vez tuvieron lágrimas
para que contemplara el lado claro
(especialmente el lado claro de la vida)
porque para el horror basta un ojo de asombro.
Le pidieron sus labios
resecos y cuarteados para afirmar,
para erigir, con cada afirmación, un sueño
(el-alto-sueño);
le pidieron las piernas
duras y nudosas
(sus viejas piernas andariegas),
porque en tiempos difíciles
¿algo hay mejor que un par de piernas
para la construcción o la trinchera?
Le pidieron el bosque que lo nutrió de niño,
con su árbol obediente.
Le pidieron el pecho, el corazón, los hombros.
Le dijeron
que eso era estrictamente necesario.
Le explicaron después
que toda esta donación resultaria inútil.
sin entregar la lengua,
porque en tiempos difíciles
nada es tan útil para atajar el odio o la mentira.
Y finalmente le rogaron
que, por favor, echase a andar,
porque en tiempos difíciles
esta es, sin duda, la prueba decisiva.

Carta desde la carcel de Fidel Castro Ruz
“…después de todo, para mí la cárcel es un buen descanso, que sólo tiene de malo el que es obligatorio. Leo mucho y estudio mucho. Parece increíble, las horas pasan como si fuesen minutos y yo, que soy de temperamento intranquilo, me paso el día leyendo, apenas sin moverme para nada. La correspondencia llega normalmente…”
“…En cuanto a fumar, en estos días pasados he estado rico: una caja de tabacos H. Upman del doctor Miró Cardona, dos cajas muy buenas de mi hermano Ramón….”.
“Me voy a cenar: spaghettis con calamares, bombones italianos de postre, café acabadito de colar y después un H. Upman #4. ¿No me envidias?”.
“…Me cuidan, me cuidan un poquito entre todos. No le hacen caso a uno, siempre estoy peleando para que no me manden nada. Cuando cojo el sol por la mañana en shorts y siento el aire de mar, me parece que estoy en una playa… ¡Me van a hacer creer que estoy de vacaciones! ¿Qué diría Carlos Marx de semejantes revolucionarios?”.

Cuando vinieron
Cuando vinieron a buscar a los sindicalistas, Callé: yo no soy sindicalista.
Cuando vinieron a buscar a los judíos, Callé: yo no soy judío. Cuando vinieron a buscar a los católicos, Callé: yo no soy “tan católico”.
Cuando vinieron a buscarme a mí, Callé: no había quien me escuchara.
Reverendo Martin Niemöller

CUBA LLORA Y EL MUNDO Y NOSOTROS NO ESCUCHAMOS
Donde estan los Green, los Socialdemocratas, los Ricos y los Pobres, los Con Voz y Sin Voz? Cuba llora y nadie escucha.
Donde estan el Jet Set, los Reyes y Principes, Patricios y Plebeyos? Cuba desesperada clama por solidaridad.
Donde Bob Dylan, donde Martin Luther King, donde Hollywood y sus estrellas? Donde la Middle Class democrata y conservadora, o acaso tambien liberal a ratos? Y Gandhi? Y el Dios de Todos?
Donde los Santos y Virgenes; los Dioses de Cristianos, Protestantes, Musulmanes, Budistas, Testigos de Jehova y Adventistas del Septimo Dia. Donde estan Ochun y todas las deidades del Panteon Yoruba que no acuden a nuestro llanto? Donde Juan Pablo II que no exige mas que Cuba se abra al Mundo y que el Mundo se abra a Cuba?
Que hacen ahora mismo Alberto de Monaco y el Principe Felipe que no los escuchamos? Donde Madonna, donde Angelina Jolie y sus adoptados around de world; o nos hara falta un Brando erguido en un Oscar por Cuba? Donde Sean Penn?
Donde esta la Aristocracia Obrera y los Obreros menos Aristocraticos, donde los Working Class que no estan junto a un pueblo que lanquidece, sufre y llora por la ignominia?
Que hacen ahora mismo Zapatero y Rajoy que no los escuchamos, y Harper y Dion, e Hillary y Obama; donde McCain que no los escuchamos? Y los muertos? Y los que estan muriendo? Y los que van a morir? Y los que se lanzan desesperados al mar?
Donde estan el minero cantabrico o el pescador de percebes gijonese? Los Canarios donde estan? A los africanos no los oimos, y a los australianos con su acento de hombres duros tampoco. Y aquellos chinos milenarios de Canton que fundaron raices eternas en la Isla? Y que de la Queen Elizabeth y los Lords y Gentlemen? Que hace ahora mismo el combativo Principe Harry que no lo escuchamos?
Donde los Rockefellers? Donde los Duponts? Donde Kate Moss? Donde el Presidente de la ONU? Y Solana donde esta? Y los Generales y Doctores? Y los Lam y los Fabelo, y los Sivio y los Fito Paez?
Y que de Canseco y Miñoso? Y de los veteranos de Bahia de Cochinos y de los balseros y de los recien llegados? Y Carlos Otero y Susana Perez? Y el Bola, y Pancho Cespedes? Y YO y TU?
Y todos nosotros que estamos aqui y alla rumiando frustaciones y resquemores, envidias y sinsabores; autoelogios y nostalgias, en tanto Louis Michel comulga con Perez Roque mientras Biscet y una NACION lanquidecen?
Donde Maceo, donde Marti; donde aquel Villena con su carga para matar bribones?
Cuba llora y clama y el Mundo NO ESCUCHA!!!
