“There hasn’t been any reduction of oppression,” Lopez-Cantera told CBS4’s Donna Rapado. “As as matter of fact, there’s been an increase in oppression, an increase in political arrests and an increase of political beatings against people who are simply seeking to have rights that we take for granted here in America. Freedom of expression, freedom of the press, free elections, the end of human rights violations and the release of political prisoners.”

In fact, just before Obama’s arrival, more than 50 demonstrators were arrested in the streets of Havana. They are “Las Damas de Blanco” — the Ladies in White. They are the wives and relatives of jailed anti-Castro activists who march to Mass each Sunday, as they have for nearly four years.

I read articles about Obama’s vacation...I mean VISIT to Cuba. Did you know the protesters were kept back up to TWO miles away from him at all times? They were beaten, dragged away, and some jailed?

Based on what the liberals say regarding Trump being the cause for disorder, only Obama can be the cause for the pain felt in Cuba right now, correct?
