Things are not going well for Fidel. He is clamping down on his own people and his successor his brother Raul is likely to be worse !
He seems to want to upset the few allies he has.
America supports the disidents but it also supports the foul regime in Uzbekistan ! Hypocracy rules OK !
Expect change soon:-
Cuba expels Europeans from meeting
By Anthony Boadle
HAVANA (Reuters) - President Fidel Castro's communist government allowed an unprecedented opposition meeting to take place on Friday, but expelled European legislators and reporters to prevent them attending.
Italy and Spain summoned the Cuban ambassadors in Rome and Madrid to explain the expulsions, which could hurt Havana's ties with the European Union that are already complicated by human rights concerns.
Some 200 dissidents chanted "Freedom, Freedom" and "Down with Fidel Castro" at the meeting in a fruit orchard on the outskirts of Havana as they called for democratic change in Cuba and the release of political prisoners.
It was the first general meeting of the Assembly to Promote Civil Society, a U.S.-backed umbrella organization that joins dozens of small dissident groups across Cuba.
A handful of American and European diplomats attended the meeting, but observers who came from Europe for the event on tourist visas were detained by police and ejected from Cuba.
A reporter for the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, Francesco Battistini, was detained on his way to the meeting and put on a plane to Europe, the Italian foreign ministry said.
Cuba expelled three Polish journalists Friday on a flight to Cancun, Mexico, a Polish diplomat said. They were among six Poles arrested at their Havana hotel Thursday night. The group, in Cuba to attend the dissidents' meeting, included a a photographer, a translator and an expert on Cuban politics.
Two former Spanish senators were deported on Thursday, a day after arriving in Cuba for the meeting, and another legislator was expelled on Friday, officials said in Madrid.
Police picked up Czech Sen. Karel Schwarzenberg and German Bundestag member Arnold Vaatz at their hotels on Thursday and drove them straight to the airport for flights home.
Dissident economist Martha Beatriz Roque, who organized the meeting, said the expulsions showed the world the "totalitarian" nature of Castro's government.
"No state, no regime, no party has the right to control a whole nation. That is why we are here," she told the meeting, which debated plans for a democratic society in Cuba.
Roque, who has spent four of the last eight years in jail, said it was the first such gathering since Castro seized power in a 1959 revolution. She said police had harassed delegates to keep them from traveling to Havana.
An attempt by Castro opponents to meet in 1996 was called off after police arrested most of its leaders.
OUT OF THE SHADOWS
U.S. President George W. Bush praised the dissidents for their courage in coming out of the "shadow of repression" in a video message played to the meeting from a laptop computer.
Bush said his administration, which last year stepped up restrictions on travel and cash remittances to Cuba, will keep working to hasten political change on the island.
"We will not rest. We will keep the pressure on until the Cuban people enjoy the same freedom in Havana that they have in America," he said.
Cubans attending the gathering, including wives of jailed dissidents, were excited by their first meeting. Cubans watching from the street shouted "Freedom" and flashed victory signs.
But Cuba's small dissident movement, which is recovering from a crackdown in March 2003, remains badly divided and silenced by censorship in the island's state-run media.
Several opposition groups stayed away from the meeting because they disagree with Roque's close ties with right-wing exiles in Miami and funding from the United States.
"This meeting does not represent the majority of the opposition," said Oswaldo Paya, Cuba's most prominent dissident and winner of the European Union's top human rights award, the Sakharov Prize. Paya is not on speaking terms with Roque.
Paya said the meeting would benefit Castro, who brands all dissidents "counter-revolutionaries" on Washington's payroll.
The meeting was funded by Cuban exiles, whose donations paid for the chairs and materials to build a dais and toilets.
The EU must decide next month whether to continue its policy of seeking political dialogue with Castro or reimpose diplomatic sanctions against Cuba, which has ignored EU calls for the release of 61 jailed dissidents arrested in 2003.
The EU dropped diplomatic sanctions in January at the request of Spain's Socialist government.
Jacek Protasiewicz and Boguslaw Sonik, Polish members of the European Parliament who were denied entry to Cuba this week, said that was a bad move that had yielded no results.
"Fidel Castro's regime does not liberalize its internal policy toward human rights activists, and nor does it open itself for honest contacts with the EU," they wrote in a letter to EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana.
