More Glories of Communism

Three "dissidents" arrested last month in Cuba will be tried for the crime of trying to "undermine Cuba's communist government."

The law, enacted in 1999 to rein in the political opposition, carries sentences of up to 20 years. It's the same law that was applied to most of the 75 opponents arrested in a highly publicized crackdown in March 2003. All were found guilty and sentenced to long prison terms.

Bet the New York Times doesn't have an editorial on this one either.
