Cuba has jails and there have been imprisonments that Amnesty International has not been happy about.

I've not yet seen reliable sources about torture.

Cuba has death sentence, that was under moratorium, but that moratorium seems to have been lifted. Use of capital punishment should end everywhere.

To my understanding there are limits to the freedom of expression (which I'm not happy about), but to my understanding calling for Castro to resign is not illegal and practical restrictions I don't know about.

Cuba does have elections. Nobody nowhere is free to come and go as they please across national borders, I'm not aware of Cuban restrictions being out of line with other countries. There are legally and normally emigrated Cubans everywhere, the doctors that Cuba sends abroad go back after their work, Cuba has received lot's of refugees from Haiti, whore freedom of movement US restricts by gunboats, US citizens are not allowed to visit Cuba under US restrictions.

Cuba is not utopia, it's not communist, it's socialist. With some authoritarian characteristics I don't like.
