I'm having an argument with a colleague about this. He believes the Cuban regime actively "suppresses free speech and cuts off internet when protestors dissent against it"

What is the actual story here?

    Cuba will arrest you for protesting with dissenting ideas, and lobbying for protestors freedom is a lot of what Cuban anarchists do.

    That said, you're also allowed to be in an opposition political group, and there are liberal parties and anarchist libraries and everything.

    It's not a "criticize the government and disappear" type situation, but it's also not the near total freedom of speech that the American labor movement and new left won.
