“The most recent case that I discovered was that of Anabel Campos de Castro, one of the judicial witnesses who served the political police in 2019 to imprison the evangelical pastor couple of Ramón Rigal and Adya Expósito. Today she lives in the United States,” Suárez states in his column in the The Cuban Studies Institute Publications.
The social communicator explains that “the woman studied at the University of Computer Sciences (UCI), and there she worked as part of groups of cyber fighters that spread Castro’s propaganda in the then still very controlled digital space, and trolled or discredited blog posts and profiles of independent voices.
The cybercombatant He worked at the Computing Palace in Guantánamo, where “he hacked several cell phone accounts and profiles of opponents,” details an anonymous source.
“We learned that she is in the United States and it is very likely that she has not declared that she repressed the opponents here in Cuba, much less that she was a witness for the regime to condemn the Rigal-Expósito pastors’ marriage,” the source considered.
The Guantanamera woman maintains a romantic relationship with a political police officer, the father of her only child, which is why all sources agreed to comment under the protection of their identities. To leave the island, they both agreed that she would falsely marry a Cuban-American, through which she received the fiancee visa.
The “neighborhood revolution” that ended in prison
The first arrest of the shepherds, in May 2017, occurred after generating a small neighborhood revolution. They had been leading nine families for more than two years who did not want to educate their children in the system that indoctrinated minors in loyalty to socialism, and praised a murderer every morning with the motto “Pioneers for Communism, we will be!” like Che!”
For their leadership, Rigal and Expósito, leaders of a small independent evangelical church, were sentenced to one year of house arrest. Reason why the Home School Legal Defense Association collected more than 30 thousand signatures on the web citizengo.org demanding the freedom of the couple.
In 2018, shortly after concluding his sentence, Rigal denounced that the State did not want them in the country, but it did not let them leave either. He lamented that when they had already sold many things and bought plane tickets to travel to Guyana, the regime did not allow them to travel. They were on the black list of those “regulated,” and the Castro regime would soon subject them to a new, summary trial. That’s where Campos de Castro came in.
One of the participants in the judicial process stressed for the report of The Cuban Studies Institute Publications that the woman was “a main witness for State Security,” offering considerations about the neighborhood behavior of Rigal and Expósito that the Prosecutor’s Office used to construct the final verdict against the Christian leaders.
On April 22, 2019, he and one and a half years of deprivation of liberty were sentenced to two years, under accusations of “acts against the normal development of the child”, but also, as pastor of an independent church, “association illicit and criminal association.”
Campos de Castro had been raised in a militant socialist environment, according to statements from a neighbor.
Your auntNilia de Castro, a Greater withdrawal of the State Security Organs (OSE), She was expelled with her husband from Canada in the early 2000s, where they worked with the Castro embassy.. They were accused of espionage. “Both were known in Guantanamo as senior OSA officers,” the source stressed.
At least 34 henchmen and spokesmen of the Cuban regime have recently entered, taking advantage of the troubled river on the southern border.whose security and management crisis have worsened with the Joe Biden administration.
Campos de Castro would join that list, which includes police chiefs, informers and judicial authorities, among others.
Several immigration forms, such as the I-485, include problematic questions for henchmen seeking to regularize their immigration status: “Have you been a member or associated, in any way, with the Communist Party?” Other questions are whether the applicant has persecuted, directly or indirectly, any person because of his or her race, religion, national origin, membership in a particular social group or political opinion, and whether he or she has been a member of, served in, helped or otherwise way he once participated in repressive groups.
Responding falsely to any of them would place Campos de Castro facing a federal crime.
The question now is whether the American authorities will take their own law seriously, and begin to apply it out of self-respect and out of respect for the victims of totalitarianism.
