	Isle of Youth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Isle of Youth (Spanish: Isla de la Juventud) is the largest Cuban island after Cuba proper and the sixth-largest island in the West Indies.
		Isla de la Juventud was not mentioned in the Platt Amendment, which defined Cuba's boundaries, and this led to competing claims to the island by the United States and the now-independent Cuba.
		From 1953 to 1955, Cuban leader Fidel Castro was imprisoned in the Presidio Modelo on the Isla de la Juventud by the regime of Fulgencio Batista after leading the failed July 1953 attack on the Moncada Barracks in the Oriente Province.

	Cuban Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cuban Revolution was the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista’s regime by the 26th of July Movement and the establishment of a new Cuban government led by Fidel Castro in the 1950s.
		It began with the assault on the Moncada Barracks on July 26, 1953, and ended on January 1, 1959, when Batista was driven from the country and the cities Santa Clara and Santiago de Cuba were seized by rebels, led by Che Guevara and Fidel Castro's surrogates Raúl Castro and Huber Matos, respectively.
		In 1955, due to pressure from civil leaders, the general opposition, and the Jesuits who had helped educate Fidel Castro, and perhaps because he had known the Castro brothers in their youth, Batista freed all political prisoners, including the Moncada attackers.

		Isla de la Juventud hangs like an apostrophe off the southern coast of Cuba and is the largest and westernmost island in the Archipiélago de los Canarreos.
		The island was later christened El Evangelista by Columbus, Parrot Island by pirates, and Isla de Pinos (Isle of Pines) throughout most of the 19th and 20th centuries.
		Following the Cuban Revolution it was renamed Isla de la Juventud, or Isle of Youth, after a slew of secondary schools and colleges were built here to educate both Cuban and foreign students.

		Nueva Gerona – A group of furious residents of Isla de Pinos, with the support of several government opponents, frustrated the eviction of 22 regional families, which was about to take place in the rural area of Siguanea, ordered by the local authorities.
		The place is very close to ¨El Abra¨, a historical site that reminds the sojourn in Isla de Pinos of José Martí, the Apostle of the Cuban independence, in the XIX century, before he was deported to Spain.
		The country’s deforestation and the damage done to important ecological systems, where quarries and other productive centers are located, is another aspect mentioned in the article published by the communist newspaper, which ends up with a dramatic accusation (against the population, of course, not the government) for having ¨an excessively hedonist sense of existence¨.
