Ex-DNC Chair Admits There’s Been No Human Rights Reforms in Cuba Despite Obama’s Deal

‘We have an opportunity here to press Cuba for more human rights reform because they engaged in none, even since the thawing of our relationship’

Just in the wake of Castro’s death, the people who demonstrate, the women who demonstrate, the ladies in white every Monday were asked, basically told not to demonstrate yesterday, in the wake of Castro’s death. We have an opportunity here to press Cuba for more human rights reform because they've engaged in none, even since the thawing of our relationship."
