Le dossier Cuba de l'organisme de défense des droits de la personne Human Rights Watch.

Cuba remains a Latin American anomaly: an undemocratic government that represses nearly all forms of political dissent. President Fidel Castro, now in his forty-seventh year in power, shows no willingness to consider even minor reforms.

Instead, his government continues to enforce political conformity using criminal prosecutions, long- and short-term detentions, mob harassment, police warnings, surveillance, house arrests, travel restrictions, and politically-motivated dismissals from employment.

The end result is that Cubans are systematically denied basic rights to free expression, association, assembly, privacy, movement, and due process of law.
