The Castro dictatorship is punishing political prisoners who reject “ideological rehabilitation” through the use of forced communist reeducation. This is socialism in action.
Cuba Punishes Political Prisoners for Refusing ‘Ideological Rehabilitation’
The communist Castro regime of Cuba is fiercely punishing political prisoners arrested during the nationwide July 11, 2021, protests for their unwillingness to comply with the regime’s “ideological rehabilitation,” meant to make them loyal to communism, family members of the detainees told Radio Televisión Martí on Monday.
The detainees being punished were all sentenced to serve prison time for having taken to the streets calling for the end of Cuba’s communist regime during the July 2021 nationwide protests, in which hundreds of thousands of Cubans participated across almost every city of the island nation. The vast majority of manifestations across the island that day were peaceful, save for the beatings and other violent behavior by Cuban state security agents against protesters or bystanders mistakenly identified as protesters.
Families of those imprisoned told the U.S. government-backed outlet Radio Martí that their relatives have been beaten, relocated to other prisons, denied visits, and denied medical treatment for their respective conditions.
Cuban citizen Dayana Aranda Batista told Martí that she has not been able to see her husband, Juan Enrique Pérez Sánchez, for the past two months. Pérez Sánchez, 41, was relocated from the Melena II prison to the Quivicán prison on August 5 for having been on hunger strike since February. His wife was told that, as punishment, Pérez Sánchez was kept outside all night wearing only his underwear on the eve of his relocation.
He is serving prison time for the alleged crimes of “sabotage,” “disrespect,” and “public disorder.”
“The last thing I know about my husband is that he remains in his position, that he refuses to continue wearing the clothes of a common prisoner. They restricted all calls and visits from him, took away all inmate privileges, and keep him in the same [military] detachment with killers serving up to 40 years for murder. He is the only person from July 11 who is in that detachment,” said Aranda Batista.

But how dare they, the ungrateful miscreants? Don’t they know it’s for their own good? I mean, the nerve.
