It is believed at least 11 people have died in eastern Cuba, where there has been widespread devastation.
Unfortunately, Cuban state TV gleamed over news of the hurricane and its aftermath last night.
Yet, the Castro regime didn't spare a minute to block the cell phones of Cuban pro-democracy leaders in eastern Cuba, including Jose Daniel Ferrer and Arselio Molina, to prevent them from reporting the conditions on the ground.
It's sickening how -- even in times of humanitarian crisis -- the regime's focus is on censorship and repression.
Let's not forget Cuban independent journalist Calixto MartÃnez Arias, who remains imprisoned for reporting on the outbreak of cholera and dengue, which the Castro regime was trying to hide.
