Do you recognize these faces?
From The Real Cuba Blog:
April 24 – Four Cuban American lawyers and a Miami-based television station have launched a campaign to identify and publicly name Cuban state security agents and pro-government militants who attack dissidents on the island.
Called “Cuba, Repression ID,” the project that began this week solicits public support from the Cuban exile community in the United States and also from people inside Cuba to identify, through photographs and film footage, individuals seen beating or harassing unarmed critics of Cuba’s communist government.
In recent weeks, TV footage of Cuban state security agents and mobs of pro-government supporters heckling, harassing and forcibly breaking up dissident rallies and marches has drawn widespread international criticism of Cuba’s rulers and renewed calls for them to free political prisoners on the island. The promoters of the “Repression ID” initiative backed by Spanish-language Channel 41 AmericaTeve say they want to name and shame identified persecutors of Cuban dissidents, both as a historical record, for possible future legal action, and as a way of trying to halt such violence and intimidation.
“Here are the images, the faces of repression,” reads the advisory on AmericaTeve’s website, above a gallery of 28 photographs of men and women who were captured on film breaking up peaceful rallies by Cuba’s Ladies in White dissidents. Members of the public are requested to e-mail or call in the identities of those shown.
“Who are they? What are their names? Where do they work? Where do they live?” the website asks. Click here to visit the America TeVe website to see if you can identify any of those who are abusing the dissidents in Cuba.

I have asked for this for years. I am glad someone with the wherewithal is doing it.
Right on!!!!
Great idea!! I’m sure in a few months a couple of them will in Miami apologizing for what they did and telling us that they were forced to do it…Miami is full of these people!
Good! I hope they start identifying ones that have come to the U.S. as refugees so we can kick them out.
Hurry on over! You have seats waiting on Haza and Elvira’s shows. Then the MSM will dutifully quote your heartfelt complaints against those “Miami Hardliners!”
It’s about time this project got underway. We need to expose these ass h*les as much as we can. The day of reconing is on it’s way.
What a brilliant idea! There’s so much that the exile community can do from this side of the shore to help bring change to Cuba and this is one of the best! I also like the No Cooperacion en Cuba campaign.
We need the Nazi hunters for this one.
Most folks would say it’s about time. We tried to do this about two years ago here at Babalu with the “Se Busca” posters and I’m glad to see a larger effort. Again, most would say these individuals need to be held accountable, but then you have crowd.
Allow me to post a few select quotes:
“This is scary and just wrong on so many levels.”
“I see it as a bunch of lawyers that are looking to cash in.”
“Has nothing to do with the loving the regime or hating the US, it’s about disliking ass holes and it doesn’t matter where they come from.”
So, let me get this straight: the Cuban people take the responsibility of forcing a positive change into their own hands – as opposed to simply begging foreign nations which are pros at turning a blind eye, and it’s “wrong on so many levels?”
Wow, barely a single comment pointing out the fact that this program is GOING AFTER PEOPLE WHO ARE VIOLENTLY ATTACKING PEACEFUL PROTESTERS AT THE PAYMENT OF A DICTATORSHIP!
Ain’t that cute?
It’s par for the course, Anatasio.
