However. Cuba remains to this day a tctalitarian state where no freedoms of expression. press. assembly and all others that we in this country enjoy. exist. A human rights activist of the organization Americas Watch recently phrased it perfectly when referring to the Castro regime. "Theyve been working hard since about November to improve their image. but this shows theres no real change in the structure of human rights limitations." Without Radio and TV Marti the Cuban people might have never found out about the intentional sinking by Castros thugs of a tugboat filled with refugees and the resulting death toll of dozens of Cuban citizens. mostly women and children. Without Radio and TV Marti the Cuban people would have been blind to the massive demonstration in Havana last year. or the refugees crisis that followed it. TV and Radio Marti allow the Cuban people to differentiate the facts from the fiction that Castro promotes inside the island. This is critical to help the dissident movement on the island obtain the information necessary to continue with their courageous activities against Castro.
