Communist scum in Cuba continue to harass decent people who simply want to avoid having their human rights violated.
Naturally, communism is opposed to human rights. In a communist society the only people with rights are those in power. The irony of it is, those in power are calling the civilians worms. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black… TGO

Cuban security forces on Sunday rounded up about 50 protesters with the Ladies in White dissident group and around 40 other activists, some wearing masks with the image of US President Barack Obama, according to an AFP reporter.
All 90 were released after four and a half hours in custody, according to the leader of Ladies in White, Berta Soler.
Earlier at the march, protester Angel Moya — Soler’s husband — slammed Obama, and said the December announcement to normalize relations between the former Cold war foes had bolstered Havana’s crackdown on dissidents.
“It’s his fault, what is happening,” said Moya, a former political prisoner, speaking about Obama.
“The Cuban government has grown even bolder,” he added before being detained.
Uniformed police and plainclothes officers were on hand at the incident in Havana’s upscale Miramar district.
When marchers who were not arrested started to leave, pro-government activists chanted “down with the pack of worms.”
Kerry will be in Havana Friday for the ceremonial inauguration of the newly reopened US embassy. On January 20, the countries officially reopened embassies in their respective capitals.
Soler said she hopes Kerry would meet with dissident groups and members of non-governmental organizations during the visit.
She said she also wants Kerry to pressure Havana to respect human rights in the country, where freedom of assembly and freedom of the press have been criticized.
Washington should “give the Cuban government some conditions to get it to stop violating human rights,” Soler told AFP.
Kerry will be the first US secretary of state to visit Cuba since 1945, sealing what will be a major foreign policy legacy of Obama’s eight-year tenure.
Cuba is the only one-party Communist-ruled nation in the Americas.
