My Way News - Cuba keeps out US religious freedom group
AP reports: "A planned trip to Cuba this week by a U.S. religious freedom watchdog group has been canceled after the Cuban government did not issue visas to the delegation, the group said Monday, even as the Obama administration moved to ease sanctions on the communist nation. [...] Cuba since 2004 has been on the commission's 'watch list' of countries being monitored for abuse of its citizens' right to freedom of religion."

Comment: Amid the new U.S. opening to Cuba, it's worth remembering that Cuba is still one of the wost human rights violators in the world.
