Why do the Friends focus their attention only on Cuba?
While censorship exists in every country to varying degrees, Cuba is unique in being the only country in the world where librarians are being systematically persecuted. Just as anti-racism activists felt it necessary to focus on the Apartheid regime in South Africa, we in the Friends of Cuban Libraries believe the fierce, all-pervasive, but little known system of censorship in Cuba merits special attention on the part of the international community.
