"The Castro family is a crime syndicate," says The Wall Street Journal.

In an article published on Sunday, The Wall Street Journal says Cuba remains a "totalitarian hell" where dissidents die in prison under suspicious conditions and the regime denies entry to "prominent politicians once considered friends."

"The Cuban military dictatorship is pointing to another murder: last month it eliminated the Hamas dissident Hamell Santiago Maz Hernández, who was serving a prison in one of his most notorious prisons for his brutality," he says.

"The remarkable thing was not the death of a critic. That is routine in a police state that retains all weapons, bayonets, money and food. What is noteworthy is that the world is hardly blinking, that is to say, that two years after the distension of US President Barack Obama with Raul Castro, the regime still dispatches its adversaries with impunity. It also routinely blocks visitors from the island, even from the left to keep the population isolated, "he adds.

Cuba experiences a process that is contrary to "normalization" and lives in "the same totalitarian hell that has been during the last 58 years," says the tabloid.

In this article, he has in mind Maz Hernández, 45, who was a member of the Cuban Patriotic Union (UNPACU), which he describes as a "group working for a peaceful transition to democracy."

"In November, Maz Hernandez was taken to the Combinado del Este prison, a non-animal dungeon. There he developed a kidney infection. His wife told independent media in Cuba that he lost almost 16kg. According to the regime died on February 24 of a 'heart attack'. It is curious, that epidemic of heart disease among those who oppose Castro, "he emphasized.

The death of this opponent should stir the conscience of the free world, says the newspaper, which also condemns how the English-speaking foreign press has not picked up this story.

According to The Wall Street Journal, "the Castro family is a crime syndicate" and that "many American companies want a piece of the action" to which "the result is that more money than ever is flowing from the United States to The arks of the military ".
