The Cuba Free Press Project - El Proyecto Cuba Prensa Libre Desde Dentro de Cuba. Nowadays this Farmer is getting stricter and is hiring policemen to restrain those who wander through his meager fields. It is true that thefts, assaults, fraud, murders, purse-snatches and burglary have this country in the midst of a moral crisis.

There is a tide of disorder, of a lack of discipline and a fury to steal, to get something into one's hands no matter what the cost.
