Havana, Cuba – In a rare public expression of discontent, a video obtained by CNN shows Cuban students grilling a top official about low wages and why Cubans are barred from tourist hotels and from traveling abroad. ** He asked about restrictions to Internet access and why workers are paid in Cuban pesos but have to buy many basic goods in another currency that is 25 times as expensive — the ”convertible peso” that foreign tourists are required to use. – Shasta Darlington, CNN
