As of the end of 2004, there were 10 librarians sitting in Castro's prison for lending out books of which Castro disapproves (1984 was one of them).

As of today, the American Library Association (ALA) has refused to condemn Castro for his actions in jailing librarians and banning/burning books, although such an action is within their charter. For every one totalitarian dictator, there are thousands of appeasers, apologists, and enablers who make that dictator's life so much easier and more pleasant.
