6. Cuba
The opening up of Cuba that ranks 6th on our list of countries without freedom of speech or press has seen many restrictions on freedom of press and speech lifted, but the government has a hard time completely letting go of censorship. As the country continues its new path, Raul Castro may soon find himself unable to maintain the control of the press even remotely similar to the one his late brother enjoyed. The Internet has provided Cuban journalists with a platform to express their dissent and while the number of their readers is still a small fraction of the population, it continues to grow almost daily, as people gain access to the world wide web.
