The prosecutor Piray Yamilet Gil Bello, who participated in the criminal process, was also included.
Rolando Cartaya, coordinator of the Cuban Repressors program promoted by the FDHC, told Radio Television Martí that “the three magistrates imposed severe sentences knowing that they are unfair, so they become possible defendants for a crime of prevarication.”
Those convicted on this occasion were Jandys González Mujica (eight years), Marlon Hitachi Paz Bravo (six years), Maikel González Mura (six years), Yamilka Pérez Naranjo and Roxana Miriam Perdomo, the latter sentenced to four years of correctional work without internment. .
Cartaya explained that Haydée Tamara González Domínguez and María Elena Martínez Quesada “already had open files for the sentences of six to 15 years in prison imposed on 20 of the participants” in the popular protests in the La Güinera neighborhood (Havana), which occurred on 12th of July.
The expert added that the Foundation for Human Rights in Cuba will open files on the members of the Ministry of the Interior (MININT) who appear in the ruling document: Sector Chief Mariannis Hernández Sánchez, an officer of the National Revolutionary Police (PNR) named Yordanis Díaz García, the expert witnesses Yenileydis Queralta Álvarez, Jaime Quevedo Santa Cruz and Claudia Williams Pedroso, as well as the criminal investigators Andelis Roque Moreno and Yurelis Blanco Fuentes.
