If you are looking for freedom, to state your own opinion without being severely punished, or to feel safe on the streets then Cuba is definitely not the place for you. I wouldn't consider Cuba to have the best human rights ever. Cuba is a country with very little freedom for its citizens. The country was dictated by Fidel Castro.

Violations continue as political dissidents face beatings, and arbitrary arrest. In 2011 4 people were sentenced for criticizing the dictator, Fidel Castro. Two human rights defenders were sentenced in Holguin, charged with insulting national symbols and disorder for public acts that they denied had taken place. Shouldn't people of the country known as citizens be able to state there own opinion about the man in charge of running everything in the country they are living in? Government officials use scare tactics to scare dissidents. Government critics still continue to be imprisoned. Many report that they were beaten during arrest.

In February 2010 suicide of Orlando Zapata Tamayo, a prisoner convicted of common crimes in Cuba, was pounced upon by the media much more than the discovery in January 2010 of a mass grave containing 2,000 bodies of trade unionists and human rights activists killed by the Colombian army.
