Lisbán Hernández Sánchez

What is it about these men and women that scares the hell out of the dictatorship? Hmmmmm, let's see they have the skills and the drive to challenge the official line and the courage to stand up, on behalf of their fellow Cubans, to those in power.

They are truly dangerous to the Castro regime.

In other news, Cuba today was re-elected to a spot on the United Nations Human Rights Council
