During the 2003 Black Spring crackdown in Cuba, among the dissidents rounded up and arbitrarily sentenced, were fifteen librarians. They were members of an Independent Library movement that collected books , newspapers and periodicals banned by the regime, and loaned them to interested readers. In Cuba this is a crime.
At the time of their arrest, thousands of books and [...]

Christmas is a time of giving. It's a time of selflessness.

Advocates such as Orlando [...]
