Where is it a crime to state that one is hungry?
Which gov’t/system has jailed one of its citizens for ranting “I am hungry”?
a) North Korea
b) Nazi Germany
c) South Africa Apartheid
d) Cuba
The answer is d) Cuba.
See links below for details on this abusive behavior by the Cuban government. Briefly, this regime jailed Pánfilo, the Cuban man who ranted about being hungry, for violating the legal decree “Peligrosidad pre delictiva.” This roughly translates to “Incipient Dangerousness Before a Crime is Perpetrated.” This is part of the official Cuban legal code incorporated into this system with the intention to convict citizens that may – yes, I wrote “may” – commit a crime. This is not the first time this draconian “legal decree” has been enforced in Cuba where last year twenty-five people were found guilty for violating this code (see Condenan en Holguín a 25 personas acusadas de peligrosidad predelictiva).
