The two year mark will be reached in two days, but the record is already evident for those willing to look with a critical eye. When Fidel Castro's death was announced mourning was obligatory, and failure to do so had serious consequences. cubanexilequarter.blogspot.com/2018/11/not-mo… 4/15

In at least one case celebrating the death of Castro proved a death sentence. Prisoner Hermenegildo Duvergel was badly beaten by prison guards for celebrating the death of Castro on the day the dictator died. cubanexilequarter.blogspot.com/2018/11/not-mo… 10/15
The beating was so severe that they broke his ribs, and did not give him medical assistance. Hermenegildo died from the injuries caused by the beating. cubanexilequarter.blogspot.com/2018/11/not-mo… 11/15
