He is morally bankrupt. Cuba is at peace. What Cuba needs is freedom. Why not a concert to promote freedom in Cuba, Juanes? Step up to the plate and do your part for FREEDOM!!!

There is no war in Cuba. Why a concert for PEACE ? Why not a concert for Liberty ? Is it too risky to ask for liberty and release of Political Prisoners. Is LIBERTY a dirty word, forbidden, tabooed, not to be heard or whispered ? THERE IS NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH OR EXPRESSION in Cuba. There is oppression, dictatorship, censorship, imprisonment to those who oppose or criticize the regime. Why doesn't he visit Dr. Biscet in prison ? A man held in captivity, in poor health, denied his human rights for preaching the words of Ghandi and Thoreau.

Why doesn’t he visit Dr. Biscet in prison ? A man held in captivity, in poor health, denied his human rights for preaching the words of Ghandi and Thoreau.

Otherwise it's just a publicity stunt. www.amnesty.org/en/region/cuba Juanes, the only dignified way to carry on with the concert, is to change its name to “FREEDOM WITHOUT BORDERS”, and urge the Cuban dictatorship to allow freedom of expression and to free the hundreds of prisoners of conscience jailed without trial.

Some said at the time that Cuban communist goverment will open up, that things will be different and...HELLO!!!THE POPE, MAN ..and lack of all human rights continue to prevail for cubans, whom, for lack of free international supervised elections continue to vote "with their feet" and leave Cuba as soon as they have a chance. To Juanes ...no song or good musical intentions, if that is that that you want, is going to change or bring "peace" to a 50 year regime (FIFTY, OK?) that is at war with its own people. FIFTY years Juanes. Man had not landed in the moon when Fidel was already a dictator for more than a DECADE -loved by the left- that has almost destroyed Colombia, your country. Juanes, dont forget to say at the Paza de la Revolucion, VIVA Che! who shoot cubans before you where born. Regarding Juanes Cuba concert:
