Singer Pablo Milanes urges more freedom in Cuba
Describing himself as a "progressive, tolerant, left-wing revolutionary", Milanes made clear he believed there should more freedom of expression in Cuba, including the right to protest, and more freedom for Cubans to travel abroad.

"Every human being has the right to protest, and, what's more, has the duty to say what he thinks," he said

I'm not quite sure I understand. Haven't we been told here that Cubans are free to travel abroad as well as to protest?

1. Oh you can protest alright, just as long as you're clubbing dissidents or fake dissidents.
Anyone who doesn't support the status quo.

You'll get bussed around, even.
