[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1117912, member: 1246"] [B]Jay-Z [/B]and[B] Beyonce[/B] are clueless about the tortures happening in Cuba, and it’s insulting they chose to visit the communist country for a celebration … so says a Cuban rights lobbyist. [B]Mauricio Claver-Carone[/B], the D.C. director for the US-Cuba Democracy PAC — a group committed to fighting for democracy in Cuba — tells TMZ the A-listers should’ve educated themselves about what’s really going on there before taking photo ops. Jay and Bey [URL="http://www.tmz.com/2013/04/05/jay-z-beyonce-cuba-vacation-photos/"][B]were photographed[/B][/URL] Thursday in Havana — reportedly to celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary — but have since come under fire from some Cuban-American groups. US citizens are still technically banned from traveling to the island purely for tourism … and are supposed to obtain a travel license from the US government. Mauricio says he’s disappointed the superstars chose to vacay in Cuba because, “There are women getting beaten on a daily basis, women who are being jailed for no reason … people are fighting for their freedom. It’s extremely insensitive.” We reached out to Beyonce and Jay-Z for comment. So far … nada back. I'm surprised Obama didn't go too...... [/QUOTE]
