Cuban regime considers academic Alina Bárbara López guilty for alleged crime of disobedience

The Cuban regime considered the academic guilty of the crime of disobedience Alina Barbara Lopez, brought to trial this Tuesday for demonstrating peacefully with a sign in a park in Matanzas last April.

According to the teacher herself, the trial concluded and was found guilty, a decision that will be appealed to the Provincial Court.

After announcing the decision of the Cuban justice in Facebook López urgently denounced what he considered "huge accidents" of the government against the people who wanted to accompany her in a trial that was announced publicly, but where only 10 people were allowed to enter.

Among them, he denounced the arbitrary detention of the writer and journalist Jorge Fernandez Era when he was heading to the court in the old Matanzas Market Square, by Patrol car 262 and two uniformed officers, one of whom was identified with the number 14283.

Although López was told that they would take him to the Playa station, the journalist's wife reported that he was taken to his home in Havana and is currently under surveillance.

He also reported the disappearance of Mario Gines Gonzalez Reyes Cepero and Ilonka Amuchastegui, who managed to reach the court but when they tried to enter they were pushed out of the building.

As soon as the trial concluded, López and his relatives called the police station to find out the whereabouts of both, but the officer in charge assured that he has not received anyone with those names, that they should be in State Security Operations but that He did not know the telephone number, the defendant explained.

In addition, he said that a gray-haired man in a red shirt who managed to access the hearing room was immediately taken out of there.

The "public" admitted to the so-called "public hearing" was made up of about 10 people, he said.

In April the Cuban intellectual came out with a sign to a park in Matanzas to request the release of Fernández Era, who had been detained in Havana.

For that act she was brought to trial this Tuesday, after a repressive day in Matanzas where the local police harassed and threatened several people who have expressed their rejection of the judicial process against the prominent teacher.
