Castro Sends Message to "Self-Employed"

Last week, the Castro regime raided a major Havana market (Carlos III) and arrested over 60 self-employed Cubans that had set up shop there.

Apparently, those arrested weren't as self-employed as they thought.

They were selling nails, faucets, light bulbs and other minor home fixtures.

As crowds gathered to protest the arrest of the self-employed Cubans, a state security official accused them of being thieves.

But the message was really another -- that all Cubans work for the whim of the regime (self-employed or not).
