Trip to “Cuban Paradise”By Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh Monday, February 6, 2012
Recently the Washington Post dedicated three pages of its travel section to Cuba. Apparently, since April last year, the Treasury Department’s Office of Asset Control has issued “people-to-people” licenses to organizations such as the National Trust for Historic Preservation and tour operators such as Friendly Planet and Insight Cuba.

In the Eastern city of Guantanamo, the home of Niovis Rivera Guerra, (member of the Resistance and Democracy Movement), his wife, Yurilaidy Travieso and three young daughters, 13, 9 and 3 years old, was surrounded by patrol cars, military vehicles, and subjected to, at least, two days of brutal mob attacks (October 25-26, 2011) of around 400 people. Asphalt was thrown against the house, all the windows, as well as the door, were stoned and broken, the family received death threats, and Rivera Guerra was beaten and tear gassed. All this brutal violence was because the family displayed pro democracy and human rights posters in the front of their home. This is the fifth time in 2011, that the home of this activist is attacked. Several members of the Resistance and Democracy Movement were beaten and arrested when they tried to come to the aid of Niovis Rivera Guerra and his family: Hermis Figueras Ros, Francisco Osoria Claro, and the Adventist Pastor Raul Martinez Caraballo.
