CUBAN STUDENT EXPELLED FROM HAVANA UNIVERISTY

Evidence of censorship and disrespect for basic liberties in Cuba

Feb 6, 2010: Darío Alejandro Paulino Escobar, founder/administrator of the Grupo de la Facultad de Comunicación de la Universidad de La Habana at Facebook was suspended for two years from the Faculty of Journalism for posting dissident comments on the web. The justification used by the Cuban government was that Dario posted the contents of a meeting of Cuba's Communist Youth (UJC) on the web. Most likely Dario will never study at any other university in Cuba. As in previous cases the "excuse" for temporary expulsion in Cuba due to ideological conflicts turns into permanent prohibition to study.
