hugely successful Big
Cuba Fiesta.
This
year we will be working alongside other campaigns to bring
the spirit of
defiance and change that is sweeping across Latin America
to the UK. Packed with
all the vibrancy of Cuban and Latin American music, dance
and culture with a
political message Big Cuba Fiesta is definitely one not to
be missed.

2.
Cuba concern over US plans
A
senior Cuban official has sharply criticised a US report on
the future of Cuba
after Fidel Castro leaves office.
A
draft of the report calls for a "democracy fund"
to boost opposition to Cuba's
communist government.
The
report is being issued by the Commission for Assistance to
a Free Cuba,
created by President George W Bush in 2003.

3.
Reporters Without Borders: Its Secret Deal with Otto Reich
to Wreck Cuba's Economy
When
Robert Menard founded Reporters Without Borders twenty years
ago, he gave
his group a name which evokes another French organization
respected worldwide
for its humanitarian work and which maintains a strict neutrality
in political
conflicts Doctors Without Borders. But RSF (French acronym)
has been anything
but nonpartisan and objective in its approach to Latin America
and to Cuba in
particular.
