Denuncias / Reports

Since Raúl Castro became Cuba’s “maximum leader” in July 2006, after Fidel Castro’s illness and retirement, the number of mysterious “accidents,” sudden mortal illnesses, alleged suicides, and attempts on the lives of political opponents has multiplied. This coincides with credibility and support that world democracies started affording the Cuban dictatorship.

Defectors confirm the Cuban regime's practice of eliminating opponents both inside and outside Cuba. The surviving archives of the former Soviet bloc also contain proof that Cuba’s intelligence services had joint training and operations to repress and eliminate the opposition with the KGB, the Stasi, and the political police of Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, and other totalitarian countries.

Our new report addresses these cases in a historical context with particular attention to those occurring since 2006. Part I, now published, provides examples occurring inside Cuba; Part II, coming soon, will address cases outside of Cuba.

No to impunity

The Pakistan Penal Code, the main judicial law of Pakistan, prohibits blasphemy (Urdu: قانون توہین رسالت‎) against Islam, providing penalties ranging from a fine to death. Since 1990, nearly 70 people have been executed, lynched or murdered as a result of blasphemy allegations and many more are awaiting sentence."
