TL;DR: Max of 5 years, most are 3 months to a year and/or a fine (depending on severity). Organizers get 5 to 8 years.

I don't know how many people they plan on actually convicting, but I think they're absolutely going to go after the ones that started it. Seems pretty fair and I've read that Cuba's prison system isn't caging so much as being forced to go to socialist camp and do farm labor for minimum wage. I don't know how fully they remove people from their communities, but I think the ones that accept the plan progressivo stuff get weekend release, conjugal visits, and basically just have to wear a shirt that says "I'm a reactionary".

    When they're Batista supporters, yes. They're Nazis.

    They're actual, literal, fascists.

        ? This article directly states that the treatment of the agitators and organizers is different from the other people involved. Those people, the ones who are literally either paid by the Miami mafia or CIA, are supporters of a return to Batista era Cuba.

        The language of this whole thing has also been very direct about the fact that people protesting for legitimate reasons (resource allocation and policy) are not in the same camp as the fash. I don't think it'll be hard to separate the wheat from the chaff here...

        Why are you defending Cuban fascists so hard? Fuck em, they're lucky that the worst they get is a few years in jail.
