Documented deaths in 2018: more victims of the Cuban revolution 

As we approach the 60th anniversary of the Castro regime’s rise to power on January 1st1959, Cuba Archive is compelled to report (herein) the documented deaths for the year 2018 as well as to notify of an update on our website of our work-in-progress on deaths and disappearances during six decades of communist rule.  All 7,330 documented cases have individual records (see database.cubaarchive.org). These are the results to date of an ongoing investigation that remains greatly impaired by the closed nature of the Cuban dictatorship and lacking resources for more documentation work.

The actual cost in lives is far higher than our partial findings, but each of these documented cases is a story of loss and injustice. Aside from the thousands of anonymous Cubans perishing and disappearing in prisons or police stations on the island or fleeing the country, hundreds of thousands of victims of Cuba’s international subversion and wars in several continents remain unrecorded. Very few victims from other countries are captured in the database. We may never fully know how many lives have actually been lost to “the Cuban revolution,” but we can remember its victims, mourn their loss, honor their loved ones’ pain, and continue to fight against tyranny and impunity.

Report for 2018
Although we are painfully aware that this is just the tip of the iceberg, 20 deaths were documented as directly attributed to agents of the Cuban state in 2018. In addition, 112 of the 113 passengers of a Cubana de Aviación flight perished shortly after takeoff from Havana en route to Holguín. The victims of this airplane crash are not included in Cuba Archive’s database pending results of the investigation on the cause of the crash, however, gross negligence by Cuba’s civil aviation authorities is strongly suspected. See our report “Cuba’s commercial aviation crisis and its worrisome record of air disasters” If the Cuban state is responsible for the crash, the tally of documented deaths in 2018 would be 132.

Following are brief profiles of the 2018 victims

We can only briefly describe the circumstances of death of the victims, however, we remind readers that all these individuals had dreams and hopes shattered prematurely as well as loved ones left behind in great pain and distress.

I. Two former political prisoners likely died from abuses committed by state agents (suspected extrajudicial killings)

Human rights defender Alexei Pécora Ravel, age 43, died September 3, 2018 at the provincial hospital of Santiago de Cuba three days after suffering a brain hemorrhage likely induced by violent abuses by state authorities. An active member of the opposition group UNPACU (Unión Patriótica de Cuba), he had endured numerous arrests, beatings, and threats. He had been thrown from a moving vehicle at the instruction of a policeman and had sustained injuries to his body and head, the latter impairing his vision, hearing, and memory and causing strong and persistent headaches. Fellow human rights’ defenders believe the injuries led to the brain hemorrhage. State Security agents prevented fellow human rights defenders from attending his funeral.

Former political prisoner José Gabriel Ramón Castillo, Pepín, age 61, died July 16, 2018 at the Hollywood Memorial Hospital, in Florida, USA, of a hepatic cirrhosis suspected to have been deliberately induced by prison authorities in Cuba. The independent journalist and human rights defender had been released from prison for medical reasons at the Spanish government’s request and sent into exile to Spain in 2008; he eventually moved to the U.S.  He had been serving 20 years of prison after he and 74 other members of Cuba's civil society were punished with decades of imprisonment during Cuba’s Black Spring of 2003. Pepín had arrived in prison in good health but had contracted hepatitis, diabetes, and severe dermatitis there, conditions aggravating with no medical treatment and as a result of psychological and other types of torture. Pepín had worked at the Universidad de Oriente but had been expelled in 1993 for founding a human rights' organization, Instituto Independiente Cuba y Democracia, that offered workshops on civil rights at his home in Santiago de Cuba. He had endured persistent harassment, arrests, and threats from authorities. See his 2009 filmed testimony in Spanish (5:17 mins.).

II. Seven deaths in prison or detention

A detainee was reported killed extrajudicially, three prisoners were reported as having committed suicide by hanging (they were induced or killed extrajudicially), and four prisoners died lacking medical care.

Yojander Espinosa Rodríguez, age 28, was found dead, hanging in his punishment cell, on May 2, 2018 at Canaleta provincial prison of Ciego de Avila. Fellow inmates suspected that prison guards killed him. He was serving an 8-year prison sentence for robbing a grocery store.

Raidel Garcia Otero, age 29, died January 23, 2018 at the Salvador Allende Hospital of Havana. An economic technician at a military-owned company, he was being held under a 'precautionary measure' since October 2016 at the Valle Grande prison of Havana. Fellow prisoners notified the family that he was very ill, suffering from organ inflammation, and was not receiving medical attention. His parents went to the prison but were not allowed to see him. He was transferred to the hospital in a coma without his family being notified and he died four days later.

Miguel Angel Martínez Torres, age 44, died February 23, 2018 at Canaleta Prison, Ciego de Avila, of a reported heart attack, denied medical attention. He had been taken to the Ciego de Ávila provincial hospital after complaining of chest pain and headaches and the doctor had ordered that he remain in observation. The prison officer, however, refused to allow that and took him back to prison, where he died in his cell without medical attention.

Geovany Matos Mata, age 27, allegedly hanged himself January 1, 2018 at Canaleta Prison, Ciego de Avila. He had been asking prison authorities for medical and humanitarian assistance, but was instead beaten several times by prison guards. Fellow prisoners believe he was induced to commit suicide.

Alejandro Pupo, age 46, was reportedly murdered by state agents at a police station in Placetas, Villa Clara province, on August 9, 2018. He had been arrested two days earlier on charges of illicit horse racing, which the family said had been fabricated. According to a fellow detainee, he was having a nervous breakdown when several policemen beat him with nightsticks and clubs and threw him to the ground, kicking him. Prison authorities fetched the lifeless body only after fellow detainees complained; he was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. The family insisted on viewing the body, which had been placed under lock, photographing its multiple signs of trauma. A small funeral was allowed with heavy police presence and human rights activists who tried to attend were not allowed. A fellow detainee who witnessed the killing and the victim’s relatives denounced the assassination by video and posted the photos of the injured body on the social media account of Antúnez, a leading human rights’ activist from Placetas. They suffered threats and arrests from authorities and some recanted under duress; a 4-year old child was pushed and scratched during their parents’ arrest.

Alejandro Socarrás Rodriguez, age 40, was found dead by hanging reportedly by his own hand on September 5, 2018 at the Guamajal prison, Villa Clara province. He was serving a 17-year prison sentence for disobeying authorities (“desacato”). Prison authorities refused to acknowledge or provide treatment for his mental illness and alleged that he feigned being crazy. He had endured two beatings from prison guards. Fellow prisoners believe he was induced to commit suicide.

Bárbaro Verdecia, age 29, died in October 2018 at Combinado del Este prison of Havana. The common prisoner contracted a bacterial infection and died without receiving medical attention.

Note: Cuba Archive documents reported deaths in prison regardless of the cause of imprisonment due to the absence of rule of law and due process in Cuba, the impossibility of monitoring by independent agencies or organizations, and the conditions in Cuban prisons of torture and cruel and unusual punishment. Only a minor fraction of the actual deaths occurring in Cuba’s prisons are reported and there is an extreme lack of access to detention and prison facilities. However, these documented cases illustrate the terrible conditions and abuses that all prisoners, common or political, are enduring. See Cuba Archive’s August 2018 report “Persistent extrajudicial killings of prisoners in Cuba” and our October 2018 report “How many political prisoners are there in Cuba?”

III. Four deaths in exit attempts from Cuba (forced migration)

Vivian Rondón Reyes, age 28, drowned November 15, 2018 in the Caribbean Sea near Honduras. She had left Cuba in a small boat the prior week as part of a group of 18 with the intention of reaching the United States. She and a male passenger went overboard during a storm. The man was rescued and Vivian’s body was recovered three days later; 16 other passengers arrived at the Honduran island of Guanaja.

Osmani Hidalgo Leyva, age 21, and the married couple, Niurka García Roque, age 46, and Reinaldo Delgado Díaz, age 45, died at Santa Victoria del Palmar, Brazil, with five other people in an automobile accident. They had all flown from Cuba to Guyana and from there to Porto Alegre, Brazil, where they had boarded a taxi to the Chuí region, planned to enter Uruguay illegally to seek work. Osmani’s father and brother, also en route to Uruguay, were traveling in another taxi and were the first to arrive at the scene of the accident.

IV. Six young Cuban doctors serving as “internationalist collaborators” in remote areas of Brazil died in accidents or of health problems

Ramón Domínguez Rivera (8/16/2018), Jaime Alfonso Martínez (10/2018), Luis Alberto Martínez Vila (7/17/2018), Adrián Reyes Valverde (4/29/2018), Yanier Samón de Hombre (8/2/2018), andEduardo Vázquez Roque (11/5/2018) are in Cuba Archive’s database because they were all at the service of the Cuban state, subject to exploitative labor arrangements, enduring hardship and the systematic violation of their basic human rights including wage confiscation, forced separation from their families, inability to freely leave or enter their country, and inability to exercise their profession freely.  For details on this trafficking in persons, see our Fact Sheet and links to our work on this issue. 

Jorge Alberto Borrego Cabrera, age 42, a doctor serving as an “international collaborator” for Cuba in Brazil since 2014 also died in the Cubana de Aviación flight that went down on May 18, 2018. He was in Cuba on vacation from his post in Brazil.


Best wishes in 2019
This work seeks to foster a culture of respect for life and the rule of law. By gathering and telling the story of the victims of the Cuban revolution, we hope that people and nations will understand the violent and repressive nature of the Cuban regime and feel compelled to support the people of Cuba in attaining their rightful freedoms.

May all people suffering repression anywhere on this earth attain their right to live in freedom. May there be harmony, peace and justice in a world enlightened by compassion. All the best to you, our readers and supporters, in 2019.

The Entropy of Politico-Economic Systems

Share
Tweet
Forward
Entropy, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, is not a promising topic for a newspaper column. However, its effect on politico-economic systems is common sense. In essence, entropy is a measure of the disorders that exist in a system, and here I am applying the Law of Entropy to the disorders that occur in politico-economic systems.
Entropy can be stated in many different ways. The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that, for an isolated system in which neither energy or matter can enter nor leave, entropy never decreases. For our purposes, we can simply say that in closed politico-economic systems, things fall apart. The two politico-economic systems I want to consider are capitalism and communism.

Generally speaking, communism is a politically and economically closed system; whereas capitalism with its emphasis on free markets is an open system. In the Soviet era, leaders sought not only to isolate communist countries politically, but also economically in pursuit of autarky within the Soviet Bloc. The goal was for Soviet Bloc countries to become self sufficient, and not reliant on imported goods from the capitalist world.

A similar autarkic policy was pursued in the developing world under the rubric of Import Substitution Industrialization (ISI).  Based on the works of structural economists, such as Raul Prebisch, ISI gained prominence in Latin America and the Caribbean beginning in the 1950s. Prebisch became influential as executive director of the Economic Commission for Latin America, and later as secretary-general of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.

Fundamental to Import Substitution Industrialization, was a belief in state-directed central planning and socialist politico-economic theory. The emphasis of Import Substitution Industrialization was on discouraging foreign investments, and on the development of internal markets for goods and services. As such, ISI sought to create a closed economic system. That is, a system subject to entropic disorders.

In the 20th century, seventy million people died in major famines. Of these, 80 percent were victims of Communist regimes forced collectivization and central planning.  Today the most dramatic example of a country that has practiced isolationist and autarkic economic policies is communist North Korea.  Different brands of isolationist politico-economic systems can also be found in some Latin American countries, particularly in communist Cuba beginning in 1959, and more recently in the Venezuela of Chavez-Maduro.  All are examples of how in closed politico-economic systems, things fall apart. At best, closed systems manage an equilibrium of mediocre dysfunction from which they cannot escape.

There are, of course, many operational reasons as to why these closed systems fail; disregard for the rule of law, contempt for property rights, excessive government controls, and more. And, by the way, when capitalist systems show contempt for the rule of law, disregard for property rights, or disenfranchise sectors of the population, they too activate the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Things do fall apart.

The Law of Entropy governs the politico-economic systems of isolated nations. Inevitably, things fall apart. The best antidote is the replenished energy provided by an open flow of sociopolitical and economic information. The prescription to slow down entropic processes is for nations to adopt, and sustain, open politico-economic systems.

Closed systems, are destined to fail period. But open systems also have to be vigilant to resist entropy.  Democratic free-market systems can succumb into various forms of elite rule that hinder the politico-economic participation of the citizenry. Democratic systems can then become would-be closed systems.

Closed politico-economic systems often originate with some form of collectivism that favors a class, a religion, a race, an ethnic group, or a nation.  These closed systems seek to improve the collective well-being of, say the proletariat class, as Marxism claims, with little regard for the natural rights of the individuals that make up that class.  This is also the case for nationalism based on ethnicity, race, or religion, where the systems are closed to all but the righteous ones.

Scientists recognize the Second Law of Thermodynamics as essential to their understanding of scientific affairs. Similarly, we need to understand the entropy inherent in closed politico-economic systems. Such systems fall apart, and cannot contribute to happiness in human affairs.

He is currently dedicated to the in-depth analyses of Cuba's economic, social and political state, with a keen interest in post-Castro-Cuba strategies. Formerly, a Senior Scholar at the Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies (ICCAS) at the University of Miami, Jose Azel has published extensively on Cuba related topics.

In 2012 and 2015, Dr. Azel testified in the U.S. Congress on U.S.-Cuba Policy, and U.S. National Security.  He is a frequent speaker and commentator on these and related topics on local, national and international media.  He holds undergraduate and masters degrees in business administration and a Ph.D. in International Affairs from the University of Miami.

Books by Dr. José Azel
"Liberty for beginners is much more than what the title promises. It is eighty themes touched with the wisdom of a master, and the charm of an excellent communicator. Anyone that wishes to understand why countries do, or do not progress, will find in this book the best explanations.
If it was in my power, this work would be required reading for all college and university students, and I would recommend its reading to politicians, journalists, and policymakers. With this book Azel accomplishes what was achieved in France by Frédéric Bastiat, and in the United States by Henry Hazlitt: brings together common sense with intelligent observation, and academic substance. Stupendous"
Carlos Alberto Montaner
"Libertad para novatos es mucho más de lo que promete el título. Son ochenta temas tocados con la sabiduría de un maestro y la amenidad de un excelente comunicador. Cualquier adulto que desee saber por qué progresan o se estancan los pueblos aquí encontrará las mejores explicaciones.
Si estuviera en mis manos, esta obra sería lectura obligatoria de todos los estudiantes, tanto de bachillerato como universitarios, pero, además, se la recomendaría a todos los políticos y periodistas, a todos los policy makers. Azel logra con este libro lo que Frédéric Bastiat consiguiera en Francia y Henry Hazlitt en Estados Unidos: aunar el sentido común, la observación inteligente y la enjundia académica. Estupendo."
Carlos Alberto Montaner
In Reflections on FreedomJosé Azel brings together a collection of his columns published in prestigious newspapers.  Each article reveals his heartfelt and personal awareness of the importance of freedom in our lives.  They are his reflections after nearly sixty years of living and learning as a Cuban outside Cuba. In what has become his stylistic trademark, Professor Azel brilliantly introduces complex topics in brief journalistic articles.
En Reflexiones sobre la libertad José Azel reúne una colección de sus columnas publicadas en prestigiosos periódicos. Cada artículo revela su percepción sincera y personal de la importancia de la libertad en nuestras vidas. Son sus reflexiones después de casi sesenta años viviendo y aprendiendo como cubano fuera de Cuba.  En lo que ha resultado ser característica distintiva de sus artículos, el Profesor Azel introduce con brillantez complejos temas en  breves artículos de carácter periodístico.
Mañana in Cuba is a comprehensive analysis of contemporary Cuba with an incisive perspective of the Cuban frame of mind and its relevancy for Cuba's future.
Pedazos y Vacíos is a collection of poems written in by Dr. Azel in his youth. Poems are in Spanish.
