HUMAN Rights Watch (HRW) is again going too far against the Cuban Revolution in a vain attempt to sully the island’s impeccable work for the dignity and authentic human rights of more than 11 million Cubans.

This past Wednesday, November 18, in a tiresome reiteration of its anti-Cuba message, HRW accused the island of not improving its "conduct" in the context of human rights, and even afforded itself the luxury of noting — lying even more — that it has worsened in some cases.

The worst case of blindness is not wanting to see, and this is an evident attempt to rescue a diminished and discredited internal counterrevolution, elevated and funded by the anti-Cuban lobby in the U.S. government – in particular the Miami mafia – which is steadily becoming more irrelevant and dependent on U.S. taxpayer funds.

Thus, resorting to science fiction, and with its perennial front of a non-governmental organization, HWR drew up a long "report" in which it again attempts to depict the Cuban government as a systematic repressor and creator of an environment full of terror, as if our streets were occupied by military forces and our citizens, without any rights whatsoever, were being brutally lashed.

It does not even have any imagination. It is the same script that we’ve seen many times now over the last five decades, with the unwholesome purpose of justifying the failed and genocidal economic, commercial and financial U.S. blockade of our country, a policy that the UN General Assembly condemned for the 18th consecutive time this past October with 187 votes.

The HRW, with the servile José Miguel Vivanco at its head, the righter of wrongs against anything that whiffs of independence from the United States (it acts in the same way against Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Cuba) and the spokespeople of the Miami mafia, are desperate and frustrated in face of a Cuba that is increasingly more solid, despite the blockade and hurricanes, with growing international prestige, which has propitiated the advance of a tendency within U.S. society of calling for a change in policy toward Havana. This is exemplified by the initiative with bipartisan backing introduced by Richard Lugar (Indiana) to eliminate all restrictions on travel to Cuba by U.S. citizens.

The HRW’s subordination to yanki policy is such that it couldn’t care less about the fact that this past February 5, Cuba successfully presented its report to the UN Human Rights Council’s Universal Periodic Review, where it received overwhelming recognition for its human and social project and its efforts in this sphere.

Of course, that time in Geneva it became evident that, in the context of an exercise with universal participation and of an objective nature, the United States could not overcome the will of others through pressure, nor with the craven collaboration of organizations like the HRW. Cuba’s truth could not be silenced.

A group of 60 delegations, of the 104 that were registered, spoke during an interactive dialogue on that occasion, and 51 of them acknowledged the efforts and results of our country in terms of promoting and protecting human rights.

Cuba’s achievements in the area of economic, social and cultural rights merited their overwhelming backing. The universal coverage, gratuity and excellence of Cuba’s health and education systems elicited reiterated praise.

The HRW knows, despite its manifest dependence on yanki imperialist policy, that Cuba has a dignified and very extensive record in terms of cooperation with all human rights mechanisms. Our nation as a state is party to 41 of the most important treaties in this sphere and has historically cooperated with human rights mechanisms that are applied universally and without discrimination.

As a way of defending his vassalage, the Chilean José Miguel Vivanco, "director of the Americas division" of HRW, is resorting to the well-worn presentation of being the victim under attack, because the Latin American governments that comprise the ALBA do not like to be criticized.

Vivanco wants to resort to this shady subject because he knows that he has a lot of dirty laundry, as has been exposed by our colleague Jean Guy Allard, in reference to his dubious relations with the fauna of Washington’s Capitol Hill linked to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the most recalcitrant Venezuelan "petit yankis," and the Cuban-American mafia, and of course, his close ties with Reporters Sans Frontières and other "international" organizations, whose ties with the CIA are established.

These are not attacks, but truths that sting. That is how those servile individuals are.
