Two sides to every controversy
There are two sides to every controversy, and the death by hunger strike of prisoner Orlando Zapata Tamayo in Cuba in February, and the whole question of “political prisoners” in that country, are no exceptions. Washington condemned Zapata Tamayo’s death, and on March 10 the European Parliament “strongly” condemned “the avoidable and cruel death” and deplored Cuba’s failure to release all political prisoners.” The latter refers mainly to a group arrested in 2003, their members receiving jail sentences of up to 27 years. The condemnation by governments of the “free world” seems pretty justified — until you hear the other side of the argument. This can be found in a number of places, but normally you have to look for it, unlike the version of events preferred by Washington and Brussels, which the corporate media pump out across the world. One such source is an article by Arnold August on the Global Research site. Source: The Daily Tribune URL: http://www.tribuneonline.org/commentary/20100427com5.html |
