Fidel Castro no longer runs the Cuban government – his brother does. Though there have been some reforms in recent years, human rights activists say Cuba fundamentally remains a repressive state.

Moya also discusses other aspects of the human rights situation, in addition to Internet access and the potential softening of the economic embargo.
