Hey Raul Castro, Here’s A List Of Current Political Prisoners In Your Jails, Asshole

By Staff Report

After being pressed by CNN reporter Jim Acosta on why Cuba won’t release its political prisoners, the island’s premier, Raul Castro got a bit testy.

Here’s how it all went down according to Business Insider:

“‘Did you ask if we had political prisoners?’ Castro asked back.

Acosta replied: ‘I wanted to know if you have Cuban political prisoners and why you don’t release them.’

Castro then got defensive.

‘Give me a list of the political prisoners and I will release them immediately,’ Castro said.”

But wait, it gets better.

“Just mention a list,” Castro said. What political prisoners? Give me a name or names or when, after this meeting is over, you can give me a list of political prisoners and if we have those political prisoners they will be released before tonight ends.”

Alright jerk-face, here’s that list you want.

There are literally 47 people on it- a pretty healthy amount of folks if you were to ask just about anyone.

The following list was compiled by the advocacy group Cuban American National Foundation. We have put the full list below:
