ABC – In a joint press conference following meetings in Havana [on Monday], President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raúl Castro clashed on the issue of human rights in Cuba.
When Obama raised his objection to arbitrary imprisonments of Cuban dissidents, a practice that human rights groups cite as a major hurdle to the freedom of expression in Cuba, Castro denied that his country has any political prisoners.
