And Now For Something Completely the Same …

… Cuba is rounding up dissidents just like socialist leftists have been doing for years.

Cuban security forces detained up to 15 dissidents after storming into a church’s parish hall to stop an anti-government protest, the church’s priest and a dissident group said Wednesday, accusing authorities of repression.

The priest of Santa Teresita church in Santiago de Cuba, Jose Conrad, said at least five people were detained during the crackdown on Tuesday, while a leading dissident group said 15 were rounded up by police.

“They barged in spraying gas in the faces of people from those spray cans, and went about dishing out blows and shouting,” Conrad told AFP by telephone.

He said some 15-20 patrol cars turned up at the church, outside which some 600 people had gathered, many of them from a protest march that had just ended.

Some 25 dissidents dressed in black had walked inside the church to protest the arrest of another government opponent, said Elizardo Sanchez, president of the Cuban Human Rights and National Reconciliation Commission.

Are we really surprise though? The left has been acting like this for as long as anyone can remember. But at least they have “free” health care!
