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."

‘The blasphemy law destroys the lives of those who have been accused, even if they avoid being executed’.–Father James Channon

Lahore, Jan.23.– There are nearly 200 cases of Christians in Pakistan charged with blasphemy – the controversial law made famous by Asia Bibi, according to a January 23, 2019, report by Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).

Supporters of imprisoned Selahattin Demirtas of the People's Democratic Party (HDP), an associate member of the Party of European Socialists, hold rally in Istanbul carrying HDP and Turkish flags with a picture of of Demirtas.  

Brussels, Dec.9.– A Turkish appeals court cast aside a recent ruling by the European Court of Human Rights on December 6 and openly challenged their authority by upholding the prison sentence of Selahattin Demirtas, the leader of the People’s Democratic Party (HDP), the pro-Kurdish political entity that champions participatory democracy, women’s and religious minority rights, and which has been in fierce opposition to the authoritarian government of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The Kurdish politician was tried and convicted for what most outside observers say were trumped up charges of inciting terrorism and sedition during a speech he delivered in 2013. He is in detention since November 2016, after Erdogan personally accused him of having ties to the PKK, the outlawed armed Kurdish insurgent group that has been at war with the Turkish government since the 1980s.
