https://newsmax.com/newsfront/cuba-communism-protests/2021/07/21/id/1029501/Authorities in Cuba have started to use summary trials to prosecute participants in the recent protests against the communist government.
Family members and activists told The Miami Herald that young people, including minors, have been among the major targets of the punishments.
The Herald reports: ''Photographer Anyelo Troya, 25, was tried on Tuesday and sentenced to one year in prison under 'public disorder' charges,'' and that his mother, Raiza Gonzalez, was not permitted to see him.
Gonzalez continued that she went to look for a lawyer Monday after learning that Troya was being held in the ''100 and Aldabo'' police station, but when they returned Tuesday, they were told that Troya was ''being tried in a Diez de Octubre court [on the other side of Havana]. We rushed, but we got there too late; he was already tried along with 10 other young protesters.'' Gonzalez also wrote on Facebook, ''[W]here is the right of my son Anyelo Troya González to have a transparent trial? I am befuddled by the reality that I am living in.''
''The Cuban legal system is a black hole, and when you fall through it, you're helpless,'' she said. ''Most people arrested did not commit any crimes, but [the government] want to make a public example of them. The summary trials have just started, but there are many more to come,'' Lobón added.
We almost lost our communist paradise
