In this case, the same dictator claims to be boss, the Popular Movement and the Revolution all at the same time. I saw the absurdity that it became. These men were being judged for following orders. The trial was truly disgusting. In one way or another, it can be understood that a State will do certain things in order to defend itself.
Every country does it.
In the United States, you have Oliver North. However, I see that Oliver North still goes around doing conferences and speaking through various means of the media. The difference is that in Cuba, you are executed and declared a traitor. The trial was a circus. I think that it was possible for him to be a political adversary in the future, but Fidel anticipated that potential opposition.
