Almost two years after murder of Sancti Spiritus professor Santiago Diosdado Morgado Morgado, 62 years old, whose lifeless body was found on July 4, 2022, new revelations have come to light in which the attitude of the Cuban courts towards the murderers is accused.
The user Néstor Estévez has taken up the case in the Facebook group “Sancti Spirits My City”, to highlight some inconveniences that have been committed against those accused of the murder of Professor Santiago.
As “The case of Professor Santiago is still alive!”, he titled his writing, which begins by alluding to the Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and all the evils he caused in the country, to denote the causes of the many evils that afflict the Cuban citizen, among them justice.
"A year and a half after the shock experienced in Sancti Spíritus Mi Ciudad in the face of the atrocious crime of Professor Santiago Morgado, revolutionary "justice?" reveals a disturbing direction in the handling of cases, said Estévez when delving into explaining the events .
He narrated that the new publication arises because "the municipal court of the city of Yayabo half-secretly convened a new trial that had been held for several weeks without attracting the attention of those in the process and without any notification to the family of the deceased."
He reproached how at the time of announcing the news of the death of Professor Santiago, the official daily Escambray He only gave a voice “to those in charge of enforcing ‘the law’.”
“In addition to the usual audacity of the official press, which first remained silent, then distorted the story and dressed up as heroes the louts of the PNR who did absolutely nothing and later boasted of talking about justice that today with the new events is It deflates like a birthday balloon, I would love to see what they are going to say now to break their paralysis and usual incompetence. “It is embarrassing to know that the case is still alive and that Santiago is dead,” the man said.
Throughout his text, Estévez asks himself questions: “In the name of a secret trial being called, and the sentences being reduced for two of those initially “well prosecuted”? Did new evidence emerge? How much is a human life?".
He added that when he issued his opinion in this way he was speaking on behalf of family members, neighbors and friends who were consulted, who specified that the only thing they have "clear is that Santiago is dead and that his killers are benefiting from reductions in sentences to less than two years after the events and after a final ruling and an appeal that ratified the initial sentence.”
He requested the collaboration of a lawyer to better explain the new procedures, “this way we dilute any suspicion of living in a ‘every man for himself’ state.”
He argued that “the absence of the law is anarchy and there is no doubt, gentlemen, that we have no law that protects the worker, the housewife or the retiree. Here mediocrity and crime, denunciation and blackmail are rewarded, and that's how it goes for us as a society, that like in the last hour of the Titanic we grab and play the violin 'in the sycotes' and instead of singing a religious classic we are It happens in the middle of sinking to say: softly down, down.”
He summarized his words with a reflection that not only talks about the case of Santiago but also brings together all the victims who have died and who do not find justice within the current Cuban scenario.
“That is why it is imperative to have a good memory and not let a tragedy hide the previous one, because without memory we will be sailing towards collective failure. The iceberg of reality is right in front of us and I fear that the rudder will not allow a turn in time. I have no doubts, we are going to collide. Or maybe we already did it because there are too many people in the water,” he concluded.
The lifeless body of Professor Santiago Morgado was found on Monday, July 4, 2022 inside a well in the Cacahual-Planta Cantú area, in Sancti Spíritus.
The two murderers of the professor were sentenced to life imprisonment, according to information published on social networks.
