  The Center for a Free Cuba
Cuba is a source country for women and children trafficked internally for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation.
The extent of trafficking within Cuba is hard to gauge due to the closed nature of the government and sparse non-governmental or independent reporting.
Cuba’s thriving sex trade caters to thousands of European, Canadian, and Latin American tourists every year, and involves large numbers of Cuban girls and boys, some as young as 12.

"Libre" means free, and of course, if you're one of the anti-Castro Cubans, you know Cuba isnt "free".
For me, the only authentic Cuba Libre is dark rum, cola and a slice or wedge of lemon (not lime).
Cubans refer to the drink as a "Cuba Libre" because the Bacardi family (the drink SHOULD be made with bacardi, but Cuba is famous for rum in general) is originally from Cuba and Coca-Cola is an American drink.

  Cuba Libre
For the insurgents, it was essential to take the war to western Cuba, where the bulk of the island's population and her productive capacity were to be found.
The eventual resolution of the diplomatic impasse in favor of Cuba, however, brought an end to large scale American colonization of the island, although a handful of American pineros remained steadfastly loyal to their island home well into the Castro era.
The Isle of Pines became a backwater while Cuba and Florida rushed headlong into each other's arms, brought together as transportation and the lure of tourism came to the fore during the prosperous teens and the roaring twenties.

 Cuba Libre?: Newsroom: The Independent Institute
The fourth and current phase of total dependence on Hugo Chávez, who sends to Cuba 100,000 barrels of refined crude per day, food, and some construction material in exchange for a few thousand doctors and assistance in building a police state, was Castro’s bet for the next few years.
The reason Castro put a stop to reform in the ’90s was perfectly sensible: He realized power centers beyond his control would soon emerge, subverting the whole premise of his one-man rule.

 Cuba Libre! | The New America Foundation
Preferring to see themselves as exiles rather than as immigrants, Cubans in the United States cling to a powerful exodus story -- full of loss, longing and redemptive possibilities -- that has given meaning to their hardships and inspired their impressive climb up the American social ladder.
This sense of uniqueness -- combined with hatred for Castro and the fact that Cuba is an acknowledged U.S. enemy -- has enabled Cuban Americans, who make up one half of 1% of the U.S. population, to play an outsized and pivotal role in American politics and foreign policy.
Although U.S.-born Cuban Americans are not as politically focused on Cuba, the strident, anti-Castro politics of the exile generation nonetheless defines the entire population to the rest of the United States.
