Let there be light Sixth Part Extraordinary 99

Article 54 of the Constitution of the Republic of Cuba, related below, is fictitious. Any similarity to other democratic and respected in real life Constitutions, is entirely coincidental and unintentional:

Article 54: The rights to assembly, demonstration and association are exercised by workers, both manual and intellectual, peasants, women, students and other sectors of the working people, and they have the necessary means for this. The social and mass organizations have all the facilities they need to carry out those activities in which the members have full freedom of speech and opinion based on the unlimited right of initiative and criticism.

In Cuba not only there is no association that expresses a critical view of the policies and practices of the government and its leaders, but also those involved in groups, meetings or demonstrations without logic state approval are subject to harassment, discrimination and even criminal penalties, in most cases on charges of "pre-criminal dangerousness"; ie without having committed a crime but as a safety measure. It is well known by human rights observers that at trials in Cuba, courthouses judge dissidents with ideological and political criteria. Criminal penalties are imposed under the application of criminal laws whose vagueness and subjectivity provide broad discretion to the agents of the state to suppress any dissent against official policy, and the subordination of the courts to the State Council, headed by the Head of State represents a direct dependence of the judiciary to the guidelines of the Executive. Repeated reports prepared at the request of the CIDH have proven that Cuba is the only country on the continent where you can categorically say that there is no freedom of speech or assembly, or demonstration and association.  To be continued...
