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.
And the State Department wants to remove Cuba from the terrorism state-sponsor list.
Maybe we need some congressional hearings, and invite these victims.
Hours before his arrival in Panama for a regional summit, Obama announced that the U.S. State Department had finished its review of Cuba's presence on the list, a stain on the island nation's pride and a major stumbling block for efforts to mend U.S.-Cuba ties.

Raul Castro’s thugs, violating with impunity the sovereignty of Panama, with Panamanian authorities complicity, brutally attacked Cuban Americans that went to reclaim the voice of those enslaved un Cuba island prison who have not voice, demanding freedom and democracy for Cuba.
A SHAMFUL DAY IN THE HISTORY OF UNITED STATES, OBAMA EMBRACED THE CUBAN TYRANTS THAT TRIED TO NUKE NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON
Thanksgiving Terror from Fidel and Che

Furious at failing to start a worldwide nuclear war and incinerating millions of people 50 years ago last month, the bosom chum of “peace candidate” George McGovern tried again 50 years ago this month. In fact, the terror plot to incinerate and entomb thousands of New York holiday shoppers came 50 years ago last week.
Not that you’ll learn of this planned Castroite atrocity—much less how it was foiled in the nick of time by J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI— from any wire service, production company or TV network bestowed a Havana visa or bureau by Castro’s Stalinist regime, which is to say: from the Castro-regime’s U.S. partners-in-propaganda. Regarding U.S. institutions, it’s a toss-up who hates them most: Cuban Stalinists or the U.S. media.
Which brings us to Glenn Beck TV. Unlike, NBC,CBS, NPR, PBS, CNN, ABC, The History Channel, The Discovery Channel, etc., Beck’s outfit remains unencumbered by the above-mentioned honor by Castro’s propaganda ministry, and thus free to report the truth about Cuba, Castro and Che Guevara. To wit:
Intrepid terrorists could get maximum bang for their buck on “Black Friday.” A few well-placed bombs and the carnage would easily shame 9/11’s. Macy’s, for instance, serves tens of thousands of shoppers that one day.
On Nov. 17, 1962, J Edgar Hoover’s FBI cracked a terrorist plot by Castro-Cuban agents that targeted –not only Macy’s—but also Gimbel’s, Bloomindales and Manhattan’s Grand Central Station with a dozen incendiary devices and 500 kilos of TNT. The holocaust was set to go off the following week, the day after Thanksgiving.
A little perspective: the March 2004 Madrid subway blasts, all 10 of the explosions that killed and maimed almost 2000 people, used a grand total of 100 kilos of TNT. Castro and Che’s agents planned to set off five times that explosive power in the three biggest department stores on earth — and on the year’s biggest shopping day, for good measure.
Thousands of New Yorkers— probably mostly women and children given the date— were to be incinerated and entombed.
Castro and Che planned their Manhattan holocaust just weeks after Nikita Khrushchev foiled their plans for an even bigger massacre during the Cuban Missile Crisis. “If the missiles had remained,” Che Guevara confided to The London Daily Worker the following month, “we would have used them against the very heart of the U.S., including New York City.”
