Humberto Eladio Real Suarez, who was arrested in 1994 by infiltrating the island at the head of an armed and killing a person, must comply with a penalty of 30 years imprisonment was confirmed the interest of the Government of Raúl Castro to reduce tensions in the sensitive human rights, including the situation of political prisoners or the application of the death penalty.On Tuesday, Cuba's Supreme Court commuted the Cuban exile Humberto Eladio Real Suarez, who was arrested in 1994 and sentenced to infiltrate the island in front of an armed and killing a person. You must now serve a penalty of 30 years in prison. This is the third such decision taken by the Cuban justice system in recent weeks and she cleans the death row, and there is no condemned prisoner on the island to the maximum penalty.
In December, the Supreme Court commuted the death sentence, also for 30 years in prison, to the Salvadoran Raúl Ernesto Cruz and Otto René Rodríguez, authors of several terrorist acts against hotels and tourist facilities that killed a tourist Italian. In 2008, after being elected president, Raul Castro decided to commute all pending death sentences (except the three mentioned above, considering that it was extremely serious terrorist crimes).
Members of Cuban dissidents have received as "good news" the decision on the case of Real and that "finally" has cleared death row, but have warned that the death penalty remains in force and not enough with a moratorium on its application. "Nothing prevents a few months the government will once again condemn death to others, you have to do is abolish the death penalty," said the chairman of the Commission on Human Rights and National Reconciliation, Elizardo Sanchez.
Sanchez said that "the regime is interested in finishing the year with no more burdens than necessary" and believes that the line is to interpret the release of 56 political prisoners in recent months, 41 of them members of the so-called Group of 75 as part of an agreement with the Cuban Catholic Church.
Humberto Real has spent 16 years on death row. He was arrested and convicted for the murder of a civilian in a shooting in central Villa Clara, where he and other members of a violent anti-Castro organization that had unloaded the weapon introduced to the island from Miami, in October 1994.
