Surprise! Castros Won't Respond to Accusations by Yoani Sanchez

CNN reported that the Castro regime refused to comment on accusations by Yoani Sanchez that she and one other were detained and beaten by the tyranny's political police. Of course, and who is going to make them do it? 'Don't make us laugh', the Castros surely boast and with good reason, for thanks to them there hasn't been an independent judiciary in Cuba in 50 years; only tyranny. No separation of powers. These criminals control everything. Who could possiubly be surprised that they admit no questioning? CNN? Yoani?

Gee, someone might even think this is the first time these assassins beat up a woman or a dissident, or that this is as bad as can be reported about them. (I mean, where has CNN been all of these years?) That's also perhaps why the Castros don't respond, that is, because it even serves their interests, by distracting from their more monstrous crimes. Furthermore, absent independent investigations and judiciary, it's their word (or silence) against their victims'.

Or worse. They don't respond in order to implicitly suggest that they proudly admit to their crimes, which they call virtue. Yes and to think that their representative was elected President of the Advisory Board for the UN Council of Human Rights. Isn't that something?



Yet, do I trust Yoani? Here's what she reportedly declared in an interview 2 days after the alleged attack:

"This is what we are seeing in Cuba now: the absence of any sort of argument, handling people through violence and fear. This is all we have left. There is no symbolical legacy, none the things that existed in the first years of the [revolutionary] process. Terror is the only thing that remains."

So you see, for Yoani, in those first years Fidel Castro was just fine. If only we could return to those days? Is this what Yoani thinks?
