Cuba
The Challenge
Cuba, one of the most economically and politically repressed countries in the world, ranks 149th among 155 countries in the Heritage Foundation's 2005 Index of Economic Freedom. Freedom House lists Cuba among the eight most repressive regimes, with failing scores on political rights and civil liberties. Cubans, including those in professional associations and non-governmental organizations, know little about democratic civil societies. Over 330 political prisoners suffer today under humiliating and degrading conditions. Cuban civil society activity increased in FY 2005, despite government attempts to intimidate human rights activists, librarians and journalists. The Economic Intelligence Unit's September 2005 report projects Cuba’s economy will grow five percent in 2005-2006, up from four percent in 2004. However, this does not take into account hurricane damage to agricultural production and continuing deterioration of antiquated power and water systems.
