The publication of this agreement transcends at a time when the Cuban judicial system is in the focus of public opinion, due to the legal processes and sentences issued or proposed by them against citizens who participated in the protests that shook the country in July 2021.

In recent days, the FGR gave information on these processes, in which up to now it has tried 790 people on different charges, according to a note published by the official newspaper Granma.

In that update, the FGR recognized that 115 defendants are under 20 years of age and that the involvement in the events of 27 minors under 16 years of age was verified, whom, it assures, as they are not subject to Criminal Law, the legal procedure established for these cases was applied.

The prosecution of these young people, the accusations of sabotage and sedition in some cases, as well as the long sentences requested by the public ministry and ratified by the courts in several cases, have been at the center of the criticism that has appeared in independent media against these trials for an alleged violation of human rights. Said criticism has been described as “biased” and “manipulative” by the Cuban government, according to Granma.
