Removed Quotes

I removed those block quotes. They're not encyclopediac. Also, they can be accessed from the links at the bottom of the page. Why crowd up an article if it is not necessary? -- takethemud 07:01, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair and Balanced View?

There are a lot of claims, but there is little to no evidence that this man's imprisonment has anything to do with his politics, or that he is even really imprisoned for that matter. Where are Cuban government prison records, trial records; any actual Cuban sources regarding this man? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.197.255.211 (talk) 20:39, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously, are you even sincere or are you a pro Castro propagandist —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.4.116.27 (talk) 19:00, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kind of funny you call this guy a "pro castro propaganist" for simply asking for legitimate sources, NPOV, and validation... Is your position so weak that you cannot cite sources or are afraid of criticism... I have no position on Castro, this guy, or Cuba, but I would say the same thing about any other article or NPOV issue... Nothing hurts with having extra sources or information.

What was missing from the article is the FACT that Biscet and the other "dissidents" were receiving millions of dollars in funds from the U.S. for subversive activities. That was central to his arrest and imprisonment, but this article totally omits this fact. Their convictions were based on testimony from agents who had infiltrated the so-called dissident group. Also used to garner convictions were the bank records which proved that the money came from the special interest section in Florida and the CIA and other U.S. agencies and private groups. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.114.139.254 (talk) 20:04, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CIA Funding ?

Castro co claims that Biscet was recieving CIA funds, is there any evidence of this ? 137.52.150.129 (talk) 21:50, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We need more sources.

Would Castro be a reliable source, given that his bias is to not confess to political repression? However, the LA Times and Amnesty International don't have the same bias. I'm not accusing the LA Times and AI of lying, just saying that we don't know. We definitely need more sources for each piece of information, with biases that are different.98.234.112.5 (talk) 22:16, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet is in prison in the Combinado del Este in Havana Cuba. The cuban regime does not let take pictures, he is in total comfinement because he refuses to put on a regular prisoner uniform, he demands a political prisioner uniform as political prisoners do. Dr. Elias Biscet is in prison for expresing himself against abortions and letting people know what the castro's regime do to have a low child mortality rate. He talked about violation of humans rights in Cuba and Cuba's prisoner. Freedowm of Speech, and questioning the government is a crime in Cuba. To say that Dr. Biscet is not a political prisoner is to discredit him. There's so much proof, videos and literature about this wonderful man who is dying in prison, lost all his teeth etc, for speaking his beleifs out loud. Dr. Bisce, his wife and his family are not allowed to work in Cuba, he might get some financial help from people that wanted to help him, but to say he get or got millions of dollars is just another communista propaganda of the Castro's mafia regime.

Peace, Love and Freedom, is what we Cubans want for our country!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.235.219.123 (talk) 02:31, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
