Juan Carlos González Leiva, a leading Cuban human rights activist, may be blind, but he has witnessed the cruel, evil nature of the Castro regime. He continues to suffer for his decisions to resist the regime.
From Net for Cuba:
Cuban human rights activist, Juan Carlos González Leiva, is suffering constant and systematic acts of provocation and threats to his person and his home by Cuban State Security.
On May 24, 2006, the activist and his father were awakened suddenly when a huge stone was violently thrown against the gate of the house on Honorato del Castillo #154 between República and Cuba in the city of Ciego de Avila.
According to testimony by Juan Carlos, a post of military personnel that constantly keeps a vigil on him has been established facing his house. When he walks through the streets of Ciego de Avila, State Security agents threaten to beat him up, they shout insults at him, and they chant pro-governmental slogans at him, humiliating him publicly.

In an open letter to the international community written last year, Gonzalez described the horrible human rights situation on the island.
An excerpt:
The Cuban government has crossed the confines of politics and has penetrated into the dark path of vandalism, organizing violent mobs of hundreds of armed people carrying metal rods and other weapons, who suddenly barge inside homes, even breaking into the bedrooms. Activists are attacked and are threatened with “being torn to pieces”; thus spreading panic amongst their family members and neighbors. An extensive report is needed to document the long list of victims of these acts.
