'No human rights under Raul Castro'

July 06, 2007

ALMOST a year after Raul Castro took over as communist Cuba's interim leader, blanket human rights violations remain the rule, dissidents have said.

The Cuban Committee for Human Rights and National Reconciliation said reported that "the systematic and institutionalized violation of each and every civil, political, economic and even cultural right remains'' since Raul Castro came to power.
