There appears to be no let up in the repression in Cuba as the “reforms” of dictator Raul Castro produce hundreds of politically motivated arrests throughout the island. The latest figure for May, 2013, compiled by the dissident organization the Cuban Commission for Human Rights and National Reconciliation is 375 political arrests of dissidents. May’s total of politically motivated arrests are an increase over the previous month’s tally of 366.

In spite of the continuing repression and the violent arrests of Cuba’s dissidents, the Castro regime, its “Cuba Experts,” and many in the press persist in pushing the false narrative that the Cuban dictatorship is softening its grip on the people and moving towards democracy. However, the latest political arrests figures combined with the thousands upon thousands of dissidents arrested since the announcement of the Castro regime’s “reforms” tell a completely different story.
