HAVANA, April 4 (UPI) -- The Cuban Observatory on Human Rights has condemned the Castro regime for what it considers the "arbitrary detention" of more than 1,200 people in March, including hundreds who were detained during U.S. President Barack Obama's visit.
In March, there were 1,245 arbitrary detentions, made up of the arrests of 682 men and 563 women, the Cuban Observatory on Human Rights reported. The group defines arbitrary detentions as arrests made with a political motive.
