Jay-Z and Beyonce Blasted for 'Ignorant and Insulting' Cuban Vacation

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 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."

We reached out to Beyonce and Jay-Z for comment. So far ... nada back.
