The Cuban Attorney General's Office has raised to 381 the people sanctioned for the alleged commission of crimes in the framework of the opposition protests of July 2021, among which are 76 cases with a final sentence, although the dissidence maintains that the figure actual is greater.

The Prosecutor's Office has updated in a statement the data on the criminal consequences of some events that "attacked the constitutional order and the stability of our socialist State", alluding to the largest opposition protests in recent history on the island.

The sentences mainly contemplate “crimes of sedition; sabotage; robbery with force and violence; attempt; contempt and public disorder", according to the Prosecutor's Office, which identifies 16 of the 381 people "sanctioned" during these processes as adolescents.

The judicial authorities have imposed custodial sentences on 297 of the accused, "according to the seriousness and circumstances in which the events occurred and personal conduct." For 36 of the accused, convicted of sedition, sentences of between five and 25 years in prison have been handed down.

The Prosecutor's Office has defended in its note that, apart from the punishments themselves, the penalties also have "educational, coercive and preventive purposes", as well as "the reinforcement of values, the rectification of the behavior of those sanctioned and their reintegration Social".

The NGO Prisoners Defenders, critical of the government of Miguel Díaz-Canel, has accused the island's authorities of "misrepresenting" the data, since it misses "hundreds of those convicted" of the events of July 11 who are languishing in prison “They hide the truth, they no longer deceive anyone,” he has riveted on Twitter.

The organization estimated in a recent report that some 900 people remain in prison in Cuba for these protests, while in the last year some 1,236 "political prisoners" have passed through the country's prisons.
