Review: First jailed in 1989 for one year, Francisco Chaviano organized
and founded the Consejo de Lancheros de Cuba which in 1991 became the
Consejo Nacional por los Derechos Civiles en Cuba.
The Cuban State Security authorities begin to take measures, such as
threats and harassment against him for participating in activities in
support of human rights.
In 1994, Chaviano is accused of made up crimes including "revealing
state security secrets" and "falsifying public documents".
He is tried in a military court without due process and sentenced to 15
years in prison.
Amnesty International considers Chaviano to be a “prisoner of
conscience, imprisoned because of his peaceful and legitimate activities
as President of the unofficial National Council for Civil Rights in
Cuba.” Amnesty International:

As a result of his family’s pleas for the past several years, Chaviano
is finally receiving medical care.
His wife, Ana Aguililla Saladria is asking for his immediate release.
She has also made it known that regardless of Chaviano inhumane
conditions in prison he continues to reject the Castro Regime and
refuses to abandon his human rights ideas.
