CUBAN ACTIVIST Slammed With 15-Year Sentence for Exposing Police Brutality
In a severe crackdown, Cuban activist Rodríguez Prado was sentenced to 15 years for recording and sharing footage of police brutality during the Nuevitas protests in August 2022. The protests erupted over continuous electrical blackouts and substandard living conditions under the Castro regime. Prado faced charges of “continued enemy propaganda” and “sedition.”
During the protest, Prado filmed police officers violently handling José Armando Torrente alongside three young girls, including her own daughter. This footage incited widespread anger as it highlighted the extreme measures police took to suppress demonstrators. Despite undeniable evidence, Cuban authorities refuted all allegations of misconduct by law enforcement in court.
While detained at Granja Cinco, a high-security female prison, Prado voiced out against her unfair trial and treatment. In a discussion with Martí Noticias, she exposed that prosecutors used fabricated evidence and disregarded video proof showing police mistreatment of minors. She confirmed that she had parental permission to film the children present during the incident.
Prado’s bold move to document and expose these brutal acts has drawn international attention to human rights abuses in Cuba, challenging both local authority denials and global perceptions of governmental conduct within the island nation.
UK Government’s CLIMATE STRATEGY Crumbles Under Court Scrutiny
A High Court judge has ruled the UK government’s climate strategy illegal, marking another significant setback. This decision is the second time in two years that the government has failed to meet its legal emissions targets. Justice Clive Sheldon highlighted that the plan lacked credible evidence to support its feasibility.
The scrutinized Carbon Budget Delivery Plan was intended to drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. Yet, Justice Sheldon criticized it for being “vague and unquantified,” pointing out a serious lack of detail and clarity in the proposal.
Environmental organizations argued successfully that the government did not disclose vital details about how it would implement its strategy to Parliament. This omission of information hindered proper legislative oversight and played a pivotal role in the plan’s rejection by the court.
This ruling sends a clear message about accountability and transparency needed in governmental actions, especially concerning environmental policies critical for future generations.
