There is enough evidence against Spanish pedophile network that operated in Cuba

Raúl Soublett director of Alianza Afro-Cubana, an LGBTQ activist has been prohibited from leaving his home ahead of anti-government protests along with independent journalists that have been placed under strict surveillance in the country and they face the threat of arrest by police and state security officials if they leave their houses, which amounts to house arrest. Unbelievable, what a draconian law! The Castroit tyrannical regime controls all modes of communication and no political opposition is permitted. What a terrible regime.
 
The Cuban LGBT community have been treated very harsh by the police, due to their support of the San Isidro Movement and participation on July11 national protest. Members of the movement along with independent journalists have been under house arrest. The regime violent response to protests and the detentions of peaceful LGBT protestors are a violation of human rights.
 
what a load of crap.....
 
LGBT people are a problem for authoritarians.

Excellent Brief Biography of Reinaldo Arenas. It is worth the time to read it. Reinaldo Arenas in his novel the Assault describe the living hell suffered by the homosexual along with dissidents, Jehovah's Witnesses and other “scum” interned in the Military Units to Help Production (UMA) forced labor camps.

The poster placed at the entrance to the forced labor camp, where homosexuals were confined, read: “The work will make you men”', replica of the slogan “The work will make you free” used in the Nazi concentration camps. It intended to correct the homosexual behavior applying rigorous punishments with the intention of modifying this social deviation, which does not constitute a crime punishable by law.
 
Thirty seven years ago, Néstor Almendros, who won the best cinematography Oscar for “Days of Heaven” and Orlando Jiménez Leal co-directed the film “Improper Conduct” that document the systematic violation of human rights and the widespread persecution of homosexuals by the Castro regime. Testimonies from Reinaldo Arenas, Heberto Padilla, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Juan Goytisolo and Susan Sontag are featured in the film. Orlando Jiménez restored and re-edited the film to celebrate the 35th anniversary of its released. The film is as relevant today as it was when it was released in 1984.

Pre-criminal danger to society is a legal charge under the Castroist regime law, which allows the authorities to detain people whom they think they are likely to commit crimes in the future. Under Cuba's penal code, the charge covers behaviors contrary “to the standards of communist morality.” The charge carries a penalty of up to four years in prison. By using this law, the regime imprisons people without justification. Many LGBT people through the years have been jailed under those charges. What an Orwellian law.

Fidel Castro got rid of criminals, mentally ill patients and “homosexuals” by forcing, according to the regime “this scum out of Cuba” and sending them to the US during the 1980 Mariel boatlift. Arenas used the opportunity to escape the “Island of Dr. Castro.”
 
Why are you not reporting on Snake Thing and Woof, and the zoosadist ring they created? (Woof specifically in south America) Why didnt the mainstream media report on it? Must be a conspiracy and you are in on it with the lamestream media! Your advertising gimmick is lame.
 
In 1965 Fidel Castro said, “We would never come to believe that a homosexual could embody the conditions and requirements of conduct that would enable us to consider him a true revolutionary, a true communist militant.” ... A deviation of that nature clashes with the concept we have of what a militant communist should be.” That year the Castro regime set up the Military Units to Aid Production (UMAP , ), forced labor camps were those suspected of “improper conduct”, like people of “extravagant behavior” (gays), were sent to those camps. Castro had a history of homophobia, he was an oppressor, torturer and murderer of gay people.
 
This is talked about often in left spaces.
 
A number of Arenas works has been translated into English, among them Before Night Falls; The Color of Summer; The Doorman and Farewell to the Sea among and others. The movie Before Night Fall is base in the autobiography of Reinaldo Arenas. It was directed by Julian Schnabel. Javier Barden that plays the role of Arenas, was nominated for the Academy Awards for best actor.
 
Yoan de la Cruz, gay man that on July 11, 2021, used Facebook Live to livestream a protest in San Antonio de los Baños, has been sentenced to 6 years in jail. He has remained in prison practically incommunicado until the day of the trial. Like in 1984 novel of George Orwell, the regime prosecutors have reversed the law. His livestream of the protest is considered by the Castroit tyrannical regime a crime punishable by law. Protestors have been sentenced to many years of in jail for crimes defined by the Orwellian regime as “public disorder”, during the peacefully protest of July 11, violating their rights to a fair trial.
 
‘The Body Never Forgets’, an Essay on the Concentration Camps in Cuba – Translating Cuba

Click to expand...
Che Guevara established the first labor camp in the Guanahacabibes region in western Cuba in 1960, to confine people who had committed no crime punishable by law. This camp was the precursor of the concentration camps established in Camagüey province from 1965 to 1968 called Military Units to Aid Production (UMAP), to confined dissidents, homosexuals, Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Afro-Cuban priests, and other such “scum.”

In those camps homosexuals were often beaten, and occasionally raped, by criminal gangs in the camps. Some gays were killed; others committed suicide. The western left didn't care of what was going on, and did nothing in defense of those confined in the concentration camps. Shame on them.
 
The late Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas in his novel the Assault describe the living hell suffered by the homosexuals along with dissidents, Jehovah's Witnesses and other “scum” interned in the Military Units to Help Production (UMA) forced labor camps. Shame on them.
 
My God the links the right wing provide as evidence are HILARIOUS
 
The poster placed at the entrance to the forced labor camp, where homosexuals were confined, read: “The work will make you men”', replica of the slogan “The work will make you free” used in the Nazi concentration camps. It intended to correct the homosexual behavior applying rigorous punishments with the intention of modifying this social deviation, which does not constitute a crime punishable by law.
 
The reporter of the New York Times Herbert Matthews, who interview Fidel Castro in the Sierra Maestra and afterwards visited Cuba several times, commented that "There seems to be an unusually strong emotional aversion to homosexuals in Cuba which Castro shares."

In 1963 Castro approved Operation P, so called because of a big, black "P", used to identify prostitutes, pimps and pederasts, was paint on the uniform of the inmates. Operation P was a massive dragnet of homosexuals which began with a nation-wide census of them. It was the first step in the creation of the Military Units to Help Production (UMAPs), a euphemism for concentration camps used for the internment of homosexuals and other “deviates.” In 1965 the battle against the Cuban homosexuals intensified as the Castro regime unleashed a fierce campaign against them, forcefully imprisoned them into the UMAPs.
 
On November 1965, Castro’s tyrannical regime launched the Military Units to Help Production (UMAP), labor camps in the province of Camagüey. The regime claimed as justification that the disqualified to serve in the military would be sent to the UMAP, where he used them to confine people who had committed no crime. The regime sent to these camps dissidents, believers of all types and condition, artists, intellectuals, homosexuals, prostitutes, bums, drug addicts and those considered anti-social. The camps were surrounded by electrified barbed-wire fences 10 feet tall, patrolled by guards with machine guns and police dogs, lacking running water and electricity.
 
According to Joseph Tahbaz, (https://www1.udel.edu/LAS/Vol14-2Tahbaz.html)’ former Cuban intelligence agents have estimated that approximately 35,000 people were interned in the UMAP camps. About 70 died from torture, another 180 committed suicides, others were rape, beating, mutilated and about 500 ended up in psychiatric wards, traumatized for life, as shown in Néstor Almendros and Orlando Jiménez Leal 1988 award-winning documentary Improper Conduct that recorded the testimonies of victims and witnesses (576) Conducta Impropria - Improper Conduct (Part 1) - YouTube
 
A poster placed at the entrance to the forced labor camps, where homosexuals were confined, read: “The work will make you men”, replica of the slogan “The work will make you free” used in the Nazi concentration camps.

Eventually the repercussions of the international protest led to dismantle of the UMAPs, but it did not end the harassment and ill-treatment of homosexuals. In typical Castro style the control and attacks on homosexuals is now disguised as AIDS treatment.
 
The MSM that normally write about cases involving charges of transphobia and homophobia, when this happens in other country, the story will be on front page. But in his case, since it happened in Cuba, their admire socialist utopia, they do not care to publish about it. By the way the regime locked her in a prison for men.
 
Brenda has her head shaved and was rape the first day the regime her into the men’s pavilion on the Güines, despite the fact that that prison has a pavilion for women. She was accused of throwing stones against a currency store of his municipality Güira de Melena, and also headed, with a group of people tried in the same cause, at the headquarters of the Communist Party and a PNR station and shouted slogans against the political system. According to the Supreme Court the sentence was “legal, just and rational” , and sent her to an Orwellian 1984 prison. “If the Party says that two plus two makes five, it does.”
