Cuban dissidents have sent out photos and videos of a large police crackdown in the eastern town of Palma Soriano that left at least five government opponents with head wounds, black eyes and other injuries.
One photo of the Dec. 2 roundup of 46 dissidents shows Henry Perales with two wounds on his shaved head that required nine stitches to close. Another shows AbrahanCQ Cabrera with one stitch on his forehead.

The Palma Soriano roundup was one of the largest and harshest police crackdowns on dissident in recent years. All were freed hours or days later ”“ one of them 12 days later ”“ without charges.
Forty-six men had gathered in a Palma Soriano house starting on Nov. 30 with plans to stage a street protest two days later to demand the release of all political prisoners and respect for human rights.
Cell phone videos shot inside the house showed many of the dissidents saying they wanted to show they were not U.S. paid ”œmercenaries,” as the government brands them, but rather ”œdefenders of human rights.”



me of bad propaganda
A little clash, get more people to protest and count on the snowball effect, so by corrupting just a few individuals and provoking a response from the authoryties, they count on the escalation and probably pray (prey) for a few deaths to stirr up the whole thing, and then the chain reaction starts, quite an efficient and economical way of doing thing, and amoral too.
Now in Lybia, they are starting to wake-up, cause it’s mostly old Gaddafi’s croonies that are in power. People not happy.
