With all of the attention generated by Amnesty International?s
recent report on Guantanamo, an important question needs to be asked.
Did Amnesty International also visit Castro?s prisons?
In his book, Fidel: Hollywood?s Favorite Tyrant, Humberto
Fontova states, ?Given Cuba?s population, Castro incarcerates at a
higher rate than Stalin,? which leads one to believe that there are a
lot of prisons on that island that needed a visit while Amnesty was in
the area.
According to Fontova, Castro?s prisons are true Gulags! Through his
interviews with the survivors of Castro?s Gulags, Fontova?s presents a
clear picture of the horrific conditions and treatment of prisoners in
Cuba?s prisons. From Castro?s practice of draining and selling the
blood of prisoners to the severe torture endured by prisoners, these
are the true Gulags on the island of Cuba, not Guantanamo.
Fontova also notes that Castro?s prisons are 80% black because like
many true Communists, Castro is a racist.
When Fontova speaks in Raleigh on June 14, I?m sure he can tell us what
Cuban prisons Amnesty International should have observed, but then
again, unlike Guantanamo, Amnesty International would be denied access
to Castro?s Cuban prisons.
Could there be a little hypocrisy on the part of the left leaning Amnesty International?
