Important analysis to under how the communist reign of terror of the Castro Family Mafia works.

🚨 #AnálisisLegal | Represión por asociación en Cuba: cuando el castigo alcanza a la familia y las redes de apoyo  En Cuba, la persecución política se traslada con frecuencia hacia familiares y amistades. El monitoreo sistemático de Cubalex demuestra la existencia de la represión por asociación: un patrón de castigo vicario donde el Estado convierte los vínculos afectivos en instrumentos de presión para silenciar a las voces disidentes.  ⚖️ Este patrón adquiere una dimensión transnacional cuando la persona crítica reside en el exilio, utilizando a su familia dentro de la Isla como rehén. Un ejemplo de esto es el de Wendy Campuzano, madre de tres hijos e hija del periodista exiliado Armando Campuzano. El proceso penal en su contra fue un explícito ajuste de cuentas político. Un agente del régimen le advirtió de forma directa: “Tú vas a pagar lo que el gusano de tu padre hizo”, vinculando el caso a un libro crítico publicado por su progenitor. Tras una petición fiscal de seis años, este 2 de junio quedó firme la sentencia de dos años de privación de libertad contra Wendy.  🌍 Este hostigamiento viola flagrantemente el PIDCP y la Declaración Universal de DDHH: 📢 Libertad de expresión: Aísla a las víctimas e impide la circulación de denuncias. 👥 Vida privada y debido proceso: Sustituye la responsabilidad penal individual por un castigo familiar basado en la discriminación ideológica. En casos graves, la amenaza a los hijos constituye tortura psicológica.  👮‍♂️ ¿Qué delitos podrían estar cometiendo las autoridades según el propio Código Penal cubano?  Los funcionarios, fiscales y jueces que ejecutan esta persecución podrían incurrir en delitos por violar los deberes de la función pública, como Abuso de autoridad (Art. 174) por imponer restricciones arbitrarias, Prevaricación (Art. 180) por procesar a inocentes para intimidar políticamente, o Ejecución indebida de sanciones (Art. 181) y Denegación de auxilio (Art. 186.1) por aplicar medidas cautelares ilegales y negar amparo.

Spain's flagship hotel brand, Meliá Hotels, has announced it is exiting 15 properties in Cuba. Read their press release carefully: "risk assessment," "legal conditions," "external circumstances." No details, but an interesting development that now includes other foreign brands, such as Sherritt (Canada). Not one word about freedom or the Cuban people. Of course, they cannot say a word about freedom since foreign companies have helped keep Cuba politically afloat for decades. Remember, tourism and travel to Cuba is what oil is to the Islamic Regime of Iran, an economic lifeline. Spain, Canada, France, Italy, Germany, China, Russia, Venezuela, the Netherlands, Brazil, and Jamaica all have or have had meaningful commercial presence. There are many others, even right here in LATAM. The EU even passed a blocking statute to shield its nationals from U.S. sanctions compliance. That was a choice, made repeatedly, for thirty-plus years. Now that the United States has begun — and I mean just begun, there is much more the Trump administration can and should do — enforcing the LIBERTAD Act and related authorities more seriously, companies are suddenly reassessing. Better late than never, but let's be precise about what is driving the foreign company change of heart: it is not conscience; it is liability. Americans are still wrongfully detained in Cuba. American claimants are owed billions for property confiscations that were never remediated. Decades of foreign commercial activity in Cuba helped sustain the system that made it all possible. The accountability phase is just getting started. There is a lot to fix. We will see who else recalculates.

There’s been one hour of power today in my neighborhood in Havana —others have had no electricity for days. The situation is fast becoming unlivable for many in Cuba.

SECRETARY RUBIO: "Cuba has sponsored terrorism. For example, virtually every left-wing, radical, violent terrorist group in the Western Hemisphere has at some point relied on support from Cuba."

@TheEconomist Cuba after the Castros will not be rebuilt by nostalgia alone. The real contest will be over property claims, dollar flows, ports, tourism assets, and who gets there first when the old political structure finally cracks.
