Sometimes, it is the small stories that best reveal the nature of the Castro dictatorship.
Consider what is happening to Rafael Moulton Vargas, a resident of Jobabos in Las Tunas province.
Moulton faces up to 4 years in prison, after he was convicted Jan. 23 of the supposed crime of "attacking." He is free on a 500-peso bond, pending a final determination of his sentence, according to a dispatch from human rights activist/independent journalist Juan Carlos González Leiva. There was no word on when Moulton might be sentenced.
So what exactly did Moulton do?
He got in trouble last October when he questioned a national police official about, among other things, why workers in Oriente earn less than in other parts of the country, and complained he does not agree with the Castro brothers as "everyone who speaks is in jail."
With its response, the dictatorship again showed its hatred of freedom, and its cowardice in the face of those Cubans demanding change.
