Our opinion on Cuba

   Living in Cuba appears to be far from ideal. One could not express yourself if it was an opinion contrary to the government, it would be almost impossible for you to leave the country, you could be arrested for no just cause and made to wait years for a trial, and you could be sent to concentration camps. Although Cuba has become less controlling, it is still violates a shocking amount of human rights, and because Cuba is a communist country, it adds additional restrictions to ones individuality.
