After the riots that occurred on July 11 and 12, as part of the political-communication operation encouraged and paid for by the US Government against Cuba, alleged lists of disappeared have begun to circulate on the internet.
But are there truly missing persons in the country? Are such lists real? What is the procedure for arresting a person? What limits exist for the actions of the authorities?
When answering these questions, during an appearance this Tuesday in the program We do Cuba, Colonel Víctor Álvarez Valle, second head of the Specialized Body of the General Directorate of Criminal Investigation of the Ministry of the Interior (Minint), categorically assured that in Cuba there is no there are missing persons, neither of the processes referred to the recent disorders, nor of any other that has been carried out.
"We have as a principle, in the Revolution, and it is also what characterizes the actions of the authorities, the right to life, liberty, the right to the preservation and security of the people," said the colonel, at the same time who reported that Cuba is a signatory to the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance.
This position, he said, was also recognized in the Constitution approved by the majority of Cubans and, although in our legal system it is not classified as a crime, there is a group of figures that encompass and punish those who comment on these actions, in the case the occurrence of an enforced disappearance is proven.
