Cuba: Ra�l Castro Imprisons Critics, Crushes Dissent | Human Rights Watch

Cuba: Ra�l Castro Imprisons Critics, Crushes Dissent | Human Rights Watch: The 123-page report, "New Castro, Same Cuba," shows how the Ra�l Castro government has relied in particular on the Criminal Code offense of "dangerousness," which allows authorities to imprison individuals before they have committed any crime, on the suspicion that they are likely to commit an offense in the future. This "dangerousness" provision is overtly political, defining as "dangerous" any behavior that contradicts Cuba's socialist norms.
