Basic Human Rights In Cuba

The Right to Basic Human Services
Under the Cuban socialist government, all citizens are ensured the basic
requirements for life. Every Cuban citizen receives food rations, a home to live in,
guaranteed health care from cradle to grave, a comprehensive education limited only by
one's ability, job training and a job, and individual freedoms guaranteed by the
Constitution. Public criticism of the government or its leaders is not a right in Cuba.
Advocating the overthrow of the government bears severe penalties.
