Maurico Claver Cavone, director of PAC, a political group lobbying for increased Democratic Rights in Cuba said” I’m disappointed that these “superstars” have chosen to holiday in a country where women are beaten and jailed for no good reason, people are fighting for their freedom every day. It’s extremely insensitive.”
U.S Citizens are technically banned from travelling to the island for tourism, while there is no suggestion that Jay and Bey have broken the law. Radio Personality Ninoska Perez added “It’s sad to see the callous side of these individuals who vacation in a country where there is no respect for human rights and huge discrimination against blacks, not to mention that U.S LAW bans their citizens from Cuba for Tourism, I hope Beyonce and Jay-Z are not above the Law”. www.metro.us
