Is Cuba really the country that we think it has changed in to?

Everyone had been lulled into a false sense of security that Cuba slowly became a freer and holiday like country. The Cuban police need to be careful what they do now, recently they have made a massive slip up.
Cuba is showing us once again how much they are prepared to stop the general public speaking about them, by locating a Blogger and attacking her on Monday! A Blogger called Yoani, whom is a very influential Blogger in the Internet was beaten quite badly earlier this week. Cuban police quite often patrol the streets in plain clothes and after they had spotted her, attacked her and two other friends.
The Cuban government has only recently opened its arms to tourists and has not always accepted visitors. Now that Tourism is one of Cuba’s biggest money spinners, incidents like these can’t go unwatched, and especially with someone influential on the Internet.
Cuba is famous for keeping freedom of speech on a tight leash and preventing those that want to be outspoken by detaining them. Attacking an Internet Blogger that is quite established in the Internet world, is probably one of the worst possible ideas, surely speaking to her about the issue is better off, this won’t look good for Cuba at all. Not to mention that she can spread her message to the entire world after it has happened.
Holidays have been damaged by the recession in the past couple of years, but now they are returning on the increase, Cuba has to get these holidays or lose money and income, so what do you say would you like to go on a Cuba holiday, or maybe Maldives holidays, or different Caribbean holidays sound like a better idea this year. Recently I travelled on Sri Lanka holidays, and that’s not exactly a quite place, but I would prefer it to Cuba at the present time.
