Gisela Garcia Rivera, Cuban ambassador to Jamaica opines about Human Rights Commission. Here comes the commie party line propaganda. Check the whole thing out in the Jamaica Observer.
With regard to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, I must agree that "human rights are not the patrimony of selected nations". But I must say how amazed I was to find that the United States agreed with that! Are we talking about the same commission that has failed to even raise a discussion on human rights violations in developed countries? Ask the African Americans in the prisons of the United States!
Is it the same commission that has not been able to review or even to discuss serious human rights violations by US authorities both in Guantanamo Bay and in the Abu Ghraib prison and others in occupied Iraq? The impunity of the powerful! Shame!
Recently, a statement "Let us stop a new manoeuvre against Cuba" was signed by more than 4000 well-known and highly recognised intellectuals and artistes worldwide, including famous personalities from the United States, requesting the countries represented in the commission not to allow themselves to be used to legitimise the Bush Administration's anti-Cuban aggressiveness.
Gee, I wonder who those famous personalities might be? Well, surprise, surprise, Harry Belafonte, Danny Glover and Ramsey Clark an unholy treasonous trinity if ever there was one!

All the Casro apologists should have to live there (as real citizens, not guests of Castro) for a year before they go around touting how great it is. It's easy to be a rich tourist and love the country. They should try a dose of reality.
Cubans don't risk their lives floating over here on junk to escape paradise.
Amen, Janette. Fidel has managed to make a hell out of a paradise and these celebrities have helped him do it and maintain it.
