A few days ago, the Cuban regime included Ávila on a National Terrorist List published in the Official Gazette No. 83 of December 7.
The list, of 61 people and 19 entities that Havana accuses of sponsoring terrorism in Cuba, includes several investigative files.
File 71/2021 includes public figures based in Miami, whom it accuses of "inciting the carrying out of actions that affect the social order in Cuba, through violent acts against public officials and the normal functioning of socioeconomic entities; as well as promoting "armed aggression against Cuba".
In response, Eliécer described the list as "absurd and stupid".
"There is a very easy method to know who the terrorists are: Was I the one who divided the Cuban family, the one who ended Cuba, the one who caused the youth to emigrate everywhere, the one who bled the nation, the one who has starving a town?" he questioned.
"No, that's not me, I'm not the one who curtails freedoms, the one who has more than 1,000 political prisoners is not Eliécer Ávila," he concluded.
