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

๐Ÿšจ #AnรกlisisLegal | Represiรณn por asociaciรณn en Cuba: cuando el castigo alcanza a la familia y las redes de apoyoย  En Cuba, la persecuciรณn polรญtica se traslada con frecuencia hacia familiares y amistades. El monitoreo sistemรกtico de Cubalex demuestra la existencia de la represiรณn por asociaciรณn: un patrรณn de castigo vicario donde el Estado convierte los vรญnculos afectivos en instrumentos de presiรณn para silenciar a las voces disidentes.ย  โš–๏ธ Este patrรณn adquiere una dimensiรณn transnacional cuando la persona crรญtica reside en el exilio, utilizando a su familia dentro de la Isla como rehรฉn. 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 explรญcito ajuste de cuentas polรญtico. Un agente del rรฉgimen le advirtiรณ de forma directa: โ€œTรบ vas a pagar lo que el gusano de tu padre hizoโ€, vinculando el caso a un libro crรญtico publicado por su progenitor. Tras una peticiรณn fiscal de seis aรฑos, este 2 de junio quedรณ firme la sentencia de dos aรฑos de privaciรณn de libertad contra Wendy.ย  ๐ŸŒ Este hostigamiento viola flagrantemente el PIDCP y la Declaraciรณn Universal de DDHH: ๐Ÿ“ข Libertad de expresiรณn: Aรญsla a las vรญctimas e impide la circulaciรณn de denuncias. ๐Ÿ‘ฅ Vida privada y debido proceso: Sustituye la responsabilidad penal individual por un castigo familiar basado en la discriminaciรณn ideolรณgica. En casos graves, la amenaza a los hijos constituye tortura psicolรณgica.ย  ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ ยฟQuรฉ delitos podrรญan estar cometiendo las autoridades segรบn el propio Cรณdigo Penal cubano?ย  Los funcionarios, fiscales y jueces que ejecutan esta persecuciรณn podrรญan incurrir en delitos por violar los deberes de la funciรณn pรบblica, como Abuso de autoridad (Art. 174) por imponer restricciones arbitrarias, Prevaricaciรณn (Art. 180) por procesar a inocentes para intimidar polรญticamente, o Ejecuciรณn indebida de sanciones (Art. 181) y Denegaciรณn de auxilio (Art. 186.1) por aplicar medidas cautelares ilegales y negar amparo.

Spain's flagship hotel brand, Meliรก 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 โ€” and I mean just begun, there is much more the Trump administration can and should do โ€” 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.

Thereโ€™s been one hour of power today in my neighborhood in Havana โ€”others have had no electricity for days. The situation is fast becoming unlivable for many in 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.
