Last year, the Cuban government announced a series of legal changes allowing Cubans to travel outside of Cuba without government permission. The new travel regulations went into effect yesterday.
A U.S. Department of State spokesman said yesterday the "United States welcomes any reforms that allow Cubans to depart from and return to their country freely, which is obviously a right that's provided to everyone under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to be able to come and go from your own country or any other country." However, the spokesman added that Cuba "i[s] still one of the most repressive places in terms of its human rights record, in terms of its restrictions on its citizens, in terms of speech, assembly, political rights, et cetera. But we welcome any liberalization and we hope that this will turn out to be one such."

PT Law's Jason Poblete responded yesterday to a question from POLITICO - a DC news organization - on recent comments by Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen to Time magazine that "I love Fidel Castro":
South Florida is home to the largest Cuban-American community in the United States; many victims of Cuba's torture chambers and political prisons live there. The Cuban regime is made up of some very bad people who have done some very atrocious things and continue to do so. It was a reckless thing to say anywhere, but in Miami especially and his suspension is a lenient response. It should have been a lot more. His apology is not genuine, cannot be after the affirmative and clear statement that he made.
