Few can imagine the extent to which those. held against their will. suffer at the hands of a government that believes solely in the institution of fear as a method of functioning. The following letter. which appeared in a recent edition of the New York Times. serves as a useful reminder to us all that there are indeed many less fortunate than ourselves. This letter has come to us by way of a newly arrived Cuban refugee and describes all too well the abhorrent conditions that exist under Castros Cuba. I submit this letter to my colleagues in the hopes that it may further enlighten people of the horribleness that permeates the air on this once. socalled. jewel of the Caribbean. A CuBANs LLm: No HUMAN RIoHTS First of all let me tell you that I am a dissident. however. (I dont know where is exactly the majority) because here in Cuba is impossible to live if you are not a communist. if you do not think like a communist or if you dont act like them. the word communist and what it means in Cuba is impossible to describe in a letter. you ought to live hereI dont hope soto understand me better.
