Cuban Political Prisoners - IMC once again hiding
Raul | 04.03.2006 12:29

A new recent series of posts asking IMC readers to support Political Prisoners in Cuba has once again been hidden.


The interesting thing we only recently noticed is that ALL of the posts concerning Cuban political prisoners have been hidden by just one editor, a person calling himself 'Roy Bard'. This editor always refers to news of Cuban Political Prisoners as "spam", refers to the regular protest outside the embassy as "ficticious" and generaly uses the tactics of a Troll to try and discredit the growing Cuban protest movement.
We in the UK Cuban Political Prisoner support network are begining to wonder why this individual is so supportive of the unelected, repressive Castro regime when research into his previous editing and posts indicates he is supportive of political prisoners in other parts of the world, double standards ? A view of Cuba unpressentitive of reality ? A regualar cheque ?

Why do those individuals in Cuba not warrant the support of people in the UK just because they are being oppressed by a pretend Socialist state rather than a Capitalist one, would news of their torture and unfair trials be hidden if it took place in London, New York or Basra ?

The reasons for the hiding are reproduced below, we invite readers to make up their own mind and of course we invite you all to join us in protest and support for these brave men and women seeking freedom.

Our old friend "Raul", inventor of fictitious protests has once gain been
bombarding us with Cuban posts, as part of his drive to prove that IMC UK aqre
militantly pro-castro or pro-castration or some other boring ideological mumbo
jumbo.

These are:
334741 - a march 2005 C+P from the US Embassy website (non news/hierarchical) ,
334740 - which appears to be a post from an hierarchical group,
334738 - a 2002 rant from Peter Tatchell (non news),
334737 - complaint about moderation
334724 - story from USAID funded cubanet.org
334721/2/3 which are C+Ps from this
