Heartbreaking message from a father to his son who died in Military Service: "Forgive me for not getting you out of that place"

The father ofAnnier González, an 18-year-old Cuban young man who committed suicide while doing his Military Service Active (SMA) in Matanzas, he published a heartbreaking message in which he apologizes for not taking him out of that place.

"Forgive me, my child, for not realizing that I had to get you out of that place ofmediocre officers who should serve you and not mistreat you, but unfortunatelyWe live in Cuba, where justice does not exist. Wherever you are, EPD," Alfredo González wrote in the groupFacebook "No more deaths in military service in Cuba."

Alfredo shared a text that another young man named dedicated to his son.Brihan Carlos García Acosta, in which he describes Annier as a good friend, and a noble person, without evil.

"Aanother victim of medical and organizational irresponsibility, confinement, loneliness and bullying that you live in those institutions, where once inside you live by the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest," he said.

Brihan Carlos revealed that the last thing that was known about the young man was that he sent him amessage to another friend in which he only wrote: "Goodbye."

"In a vulgar way: another one for the gap, another investigation in which either everyone knows each other or the fault lies with no one because they did not know how to see (...) Anier, another life that is suddenly extinguished and in an unjustified way but that I can feel very close," he added.

Last July 4 marked two years since the death of Anier, who was doing his Military Service in the Combinado del Sur prison, in Matanzas.

For his father,From that day on, his life "became hell."

"Today, July 4, two years since I lost my child in that misfortune of Military Service. It is hard,It's hard to get up every day and see that empty bed.. It is hard to go every Sunday to see you where you have rested for two years.It's hard to leave your grave every Sunday during these two years and try not to look back. It's hard. My life became hell. EPD my child. I love you and I will always love you," he wrote on his Facebook profile.

González commented that he had seen the publication of the new Military Penal Code and the five-year penalty for evading service, and questioned how many years they have given the officers responsible for the deaths of all the adolescents that have occurred in those institutions, when they are taken there by force.

Likewise, he reiterated that it is the responsibility of these officers to respond for the physical integrity of these adolescents and that "they have to know who is prepared to fulfill any function, to carry a weapon, so that they do not injure themselves or do it to another."

"When our children are in Military Service they are disposable and no one responds. I say this from my own experience," he said.

At the end of 2021, the troubled father confirmed toCyberCubathat his son's death was a suicide and that he was not sufficiently prepared to carry a firearm.

"They put him on guard duty in the Combined towers without ever having had a rifle in his hands and they left him alone and it seems thathe became panicked or anxious and took his own life"With only 13 days there and 12 days in isolation, they killed him," he said.

He also explained that in the Combinado del Sur penitentiary center they subjected him to a period of isolation, as a coronavirus prevention measure, and when it was found that he was not infected, on July 4, they sent him to a three-story tower in height to perform a guard. That same day he took his life.

He also stressed thatAnnier had no history of mental illness.
