Salvadoran Terrorist Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison in Havana
CUBA, 22nd, December 2010.- The Crimes against State Security Department at the Provincial Tribunal of Havana sentenced Salvadoran Francisco Chávez Abarca to thirty years in prison for convictions of terrorism against Cuba.
The trial included declarations showing that the defendant recruited, trained, organized, and financed Salvadoran and Guatemalan citizens to travel to Cuba at the end of the 1990´s to install explosives in hotels and other sites in the Cuban capital.
To issue the sentence, the court considered that the death penalty was outlawed by the State Council in 2008, and therefore opted for the thirty-year sentence. (Cubaminrex-RHC)
