Given that the established time period has elapsed for defendants and prosecutors to file sentencing appeals, in exercise of the right that legally assists them, or because these have been resolved, we report that, to date, the Prosecutor’s Office has been notified by the People’s Courts of 76 verdicts which are now final.
The Attorney General’s Office continues to provide the people information on the legal response to the events of July 11, 2021, which threatened the constitutional order and stability of our socialist state.
A total of 381 personshave beenconvicted, including 16 youth between the ages of 16 and 18, mainly for crimes of sedition; sabotage; robbery with force and violence; attempt; contempt and public disorder.
A total of 297 defendants were sentenced to prison terms, based on the seriousness and circumstances in which the events occurred and their personal conduct. For the crime of sedition, 36 were convicted and sentenced to between five and 25 years in prison.
The prison terms of 84defendants were substituted with alternative sentences that do not imply their confinement in prison, in principle,dependent on good behavior, providing instead correctional work with or without time in prison and limitation of freedom. Fifteen of the youth between the ages of 16 and 18 were included in this decision.
It is important to point out that the breach of obligations dictated by the Court in its sentences or the commission of a new criminal act, will result in the revocation of the substitute sentence and the obligation to serve the remainingportion of the sentence originally set, in prison.
In the sentences handed down, the People’s Courts established, in each case, the civil responsibility to compensatethose injured as a result of the acts committed, and the reparation of property damage caused.

La Heroína de la Revolución, Vilma Lucila Espín Guillois nació un 7 de abril de 1930, en Santiago de Cuba, y dejó una huella indeleble en las posteriores generaciones, especialmente en las mujeres cubanas, por cuya emancipación luchó toda su vida.

Mujer de acción y pensamiento, de firmeza y fidelidad inquebrantables, martiana, su nombre estará siempre vinculado con la Federación de Mujeres Cubanas (FMC), que se constituyó oficialmente el 23 de agosto de 1960, y que guio como presidenta; pero su huella está también en toda la obra revolucionaria.

Heredó la rebeldía de su ciudad natal. Joven elegante, de voz exquisita en la coral de la Universidad de Oriente, donde se graduó de ingeniera química, fue una de las dos primeras mujeres que en Cuba alcanzaron ese título.

Desde muy joven había asumido posiciones políticas revolucionarias y participado activamente en manifestaciones estudiantiles luego del golpe de Estado del 10 de marzo de 1952. Insertada en los preparativos de la nueva etapa de lucha, y luego de concluir un curso de posgrado en Estados Unidos, por orientaciones de la Dirección del M-26-7, hizo escala en México para entrevistarse con Fidel Castro y recibir sus instrucciones y mensajes para los combatientes que se hallaban en la clandestinidad en Cuba.

Bajo las órdenes directas de Frank País, participó en el alzamiento armado de Santiago de Cuba, el 30 de noviembre de 1956, en apoyo a los expedicionarios del yate Granma, y su vivienda se convirtió, después de esa acción relevante, en cuartel general del movimiento revolucionario en la ciudad oriental.

En los momentos más difíciles de la guerrilla dirigida por Fidel Castro, en febrero de 1957, Vilma marchó al encuentro de esta, en la Sierra Maestra, en compañía de Frank País, Faustino Pérez y otros miembros de la Dirección Nacional del M-26-7, para coordinar el apoyo desde el llano, y guiar al periodista Herbert Matthews, de The New York Times, a la presencia de Fidel.

Como integrante de la Dirección Nacional del M-26-7, poco antes de ser asesinado Frank País, fue nombrada por él coordinadora provincial de la organización clandestina en la provincia de Oriente. Esta labor la desempeñó con particular capacidad y valentía hasta que, ante el acecho y la persecución constantes, se incorporó al Ejército Rebelde, en junio de 1958, convirtiéndose en guerrillera del ii Frente Frank País, y eficaz coordinadora del movimiento clandestino de Oriente con el territorio del Frente.

Luego del triunfo revolucionario contrajo matrimonio con el Comandante (hoy General de Ejército) Raúl Castro Ruz, con quien creó una familia.

Integró el Comité Central del Partido Comunista de Cuba desde su fundación en 1965, condición en que fue ratificada en todos sus Congresos. En 1980, en ocasión del Segundo Congreso del Partido, resultó electa miembro suplente del Buró Político, y en el Tercer Congreso fue promovida a miembro efectivo de esa instancia de dirección, responsabilidad que desempeñó hasta 1991. Fue diputada a la Asamblea Nacional desde su primera legislatura y miembro del Consejo de Estado desde su constitución.

Por sus relevantes méritos recibió múltiples condecoraciones y órdenes nacionales e internacionales, entre las que se destaca el título honorífico de Heroína de la República de Cuba.

Murió el 18 de junio de 2007 en La Habana, debido al agravamiento de una enfermedad que la aquejaba desde hacía algún tiempo. Sus restos descansan en el Mausoleo del ii Frente, lugar histórico situado en las estribaciones de la montaña de Mícara, y donde recibe permanente homenaje de las mujeres cubanas, que siguen su ejemplo en la defensa de la Revolución.

Two giants twinned by history: Antonio Maceo Granjales and Ernesto “Che” Guevara de la Serna


Two giants twinned by history
Two giants who share a birth date and common ideals. Two men who both, in different times, dignified our country’s past to illuminate our present and future. Two heroes of the Revolution who are June children, Antonio Maceo Granjales and Ernesto “Che” Guevara de la Serna

Distances matter little – in time and kilometers – if two names remain eternal in the memory of a country, fused as the same reference of integrity and courage. Two giants that history has twinned beyond a shared birth date and common ideals. Two men who both, in different times, dignified our country’s past to illuminate our present and future. Two heroes of the Revolution who are June children, Antonio Maceo Granjales and Ernesto “Che” Guevara de la Serna.
In Santiago de Cuba the first was born. It was 1845 when the Maceo family baptized the boy who would become a renowned Mambí leader in Cuba’s wars of independence.
The second came into the world exactly 83 years later. They called him Ernesto, although his memorable life would earn him another international qualification, since that little boy, born in 1928, would leave his native Rosario, in Argentina, at a very young age to heal the “wounds” of a ravaged America.
Their extraordinary lives were amazing and have become legendary.
Maceo fought more than 600 battles and bore on his body 26 scars of war; while Guevara made very much his own the epic feats of the Granma yacht, the Sierra Maestra and the Cuban Revolution, before going off to fight for the freedom of Congo and Bolivia.
San Pedro was not the end for Maceo, just as La Higuera was not for Che. We will carry the memory of the former’s firm voice in Baraguá insisting “No, we don’t understand each other” before an enemy who sought to disrespect our homeland; and the latter who, looking his executioner in the eyes, ordered: “Shoot, there is a man here.”
To them both we say, Cuba contemplates you proudly.
