Beyonce-and-Jay-Z-Cuba

The below individual is one of many that has recently questioned the Carters’ trip, but it’s probably the best one as far as getting the gist of the opposition. From TMZ:

Mauricio Claver-Carone, the D.C. director for the US-Cuba Democracy PAC — a group committed to fighting for democracy in Cuba — tells TMZ the A-listers should’ve educated themselves about what’s really going on there before taking photo ops.

Jay and Bey were photographed Thursday in Havana — reportedly to celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary — but have since come under fire from some Cuban-American groups.

US citizens are still technically banned from traveling to the island purely for tourism … and are supposed to obtain a travel license from the US government.

Mauricio says he’s disappointed the superstars chose to vacay in Cuba because, “There are women getting beaten on a daily basis, women who are being jailed for no reason … people are fighting for their freedom. It’s extremely insensitive.”

Let it be known that they’ve also received support for their trip as well.
