According
to TMZ, Jay-Z and Beyonce are clueless about the
tortures happening in Cuba, and it's insulting they chose to visit the
communist country for a celebration ... so says a Cuban rights lobbyist.
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 on 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 go on holiday 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."
TMZ tried to reach out to Beyonce and Jay-Z for comment but they have refused to comment.
