Cuba is causing problems with freedom of speech again!

Everyone had been lulled into a false sense of security that Cuba slowly became a freer and holiday like country. There is something that has happened in Cuba that the Government may live to regret for quite a while.
Cuba is showing us once again how much they are prepared to stop the general public speaking about them, by locating a Blogger and attacking her on Monday! A Blogger called Yoani, whom is a very influential Blogger in the Internet was beaten quite badly earlier this week. Cuban police quite often patrol the streets in plain clothes and after they had spotted her, attacked her and two other friends.
The Cuban government has only recently opened its arms to tourists and has not always accepted visitors. Now that Tourism is one of Cuba’s biggest money spinners, incidents like these can’t go unwatched, and especially with someone influential on the Internet.
Most countries had thought that living standards had improved in Cuba since tourism started to blossom here, yet things seem to have taken a turn for the worse once again, and now it seems Cuba is plunging itself into a hole it will find difficult to dig out of. Attacking an Internet Blogger that is quite established in the Internet world, is probably one of the worst possible ideas, surely speaking to her about the issue is better off, this won’t look good for Cuba at all. Not to mention that she can spread her message to the entire world after it has happened.
Holidays have been hit by the current economic climate in the last couple of years, but now they are returning on the rise, Cuba has to get these holidays or lose profits and investment, so what do you say would you like to go on a Cuba holiday, or perhaps Maldives holidays, or some other Caribbean holidays sound like a more sensible idea this year. Recently I journeyed on Sri Lanka holidays, and thats not really a quite place, but I would prefer it to Cuba at the present time.
