In February the criminal complaint filed by the “anti-Castro” entity Prisoners Defensers against the coordinator and journalist of the media Cubainformación, José Manzaneda, and the legal representation of the Euskadi-Cuba association will take place in Madrid. This partnership was the legal owner of the domain www.cubainformacion.tv until 2020. The particular accusation has demanded a six-year prison sentence and compensation of 50,000 euros for the contents of the report “Creating a health crisis in Cuba: the objective of the war against its medical cooperation”. The prosecution and defence are calling for acquittal on the grounds that there is no crime.

This work was published by the media in October 2020. There they described the work of Prisoners Defensers and, in coordination with the U.S. Government State Department, explained that the Cuban doctor was trying to destroy the collaboration agreements.

According to the report, one of the objectives would be to implement in the health field the economic blockade against the island, reducing the revenues that the Cuban Ministry of Public Health obtained by medical agreements of several nations.

They are raising funds to face the trial.
