American Citizens Beaten by Castro Agents in Panama
Capitol Hill Cubans ^ | Thursday, April 9, 2015 | Capitol Hill Cubans

Posted on 04/09/2015 11:57:54 AM PDT by LibFreeUSA

A half-dozen Cuban dissident leaders and American citizens were attacked this afternoon by a group of Castro regime agents in Panama City.

The activists were placing flowers at the statue of Cuban independence hero, Jose Marti, when approached by a group of Castro regime agents, who began to violently beat them.

Among those attacked were a group of American citizens, including Orlando Gutierrez of the Democratic Directorate, Silvia Iriondo of Mothers Against Repression and Gus Monge.

The Cuban dissidents include former political prisoner Jorge Luis Garcia Perez "Antunez," his wife Yris Perez Aguilera and Leticia Ramos Herreria of The Ladies in White.

The Panamanian police watched as the attack took place. Then, it detained the Cuban dissident leaders and American citizens. Meanwhile, the Castro regime agents were allowed to walk.

They are currently being held in the San Francisco detention facility -- facing deportation to Cuba and the United States, respectively.

Also, this afternoon, at the Summit's Civil Society Forum, Cuban dissident leaders, including Rosa Maria Paya and Roberto de Jesus Guerra, were blocked from entering the convention hall by a Castro regime delegation.

The regime delegation that disrupted the Forum was headed by Raul Castro's confidant, former Minister of Culture (and head censor), Abel Prieto.

That guy doesn’t look like much a fighter, more of a soft belly type.

A quick and easy way to get the Panamanian government's attention would be to simply pull the dollar out and choke the economy, since it uses dollars (technically "bolivars" but it's US currency). Unfortunately, since the present administration seems to enjoy any attack upon American citizens by the enemies of America, nothing like that will happen.

I keep trying not to think about what Henry II said about Becket...

Dear Emperor Zero,

When you reward bad behavior, you will only get more bad behavior.

Americans must learn that a once great people who are in the process of being conquered will have a rough time; assaults, rapes, killings theft of property the taking of children for purposes of slavery, etc. etc. Once sufficiently humbled assaults will be accepted as nothing but a piece of bad luck.

Panama, I believe has been ‘bought off’ by Cuba with Venezuelan ‘petro’ dollars, so they have become an ‘ally’ of the Castros, which is why you see this happening where the Panama “police” did nothing in this attack. The CASTRO MAFIA is very alive and well, and our “President” is desperately trying to establish ties with this mafia.
