Editing Communist Party of Cuba (section)

===Human rights violations===
In 1987, a "Tribunal on Cuba" was held in Paris in order to present testimonies by former prisoners of Cuba's penal system to the international media. The gathering was sponsored by Resistance International and The Coalition of Committees for the Rights of Man in Cuba. The testimonies which were presented at the tribunal, before an international panel, alleged that a pattern of [[torture]] existed in Cuba's prisons and "[[Concentration camp|hard labor camps]]". These included beatings, biological experiments in diet restrictions, violent interrogations and extremely unsanitary conditions. The jury concurred with allegations of arbitrary arrest; sentencing by court martial with no public audience or defender; periods spent in hard labour camps without sufficient food, clothing or medical care; and the arrest of children who were over nine years old.

The number of reported executions in Cuba declined during the 1970s and by the 1980s they were restricted to rare and high-profile cases, notably the execution of General [[Arnaldo Ochoa]] in 1989. Ochoa, who had once been proclaimed a "Hero of the Revolution" by Fidel Castro, along with three other high-ranking officers, was brought to trial for drug trafficking. This offense carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, but Ochoa and the others were convicted of treason and promptly executed. Opponents of the Castro government who live outside Cuba expressed skepticism about the legitimacy of Ochoa's arrest and execution.
