HAVANA TIMES – University professor and philosopher Freddy Antonio Quezada was found guilty of the crime of “incitement to hatred” in a virtual trial. This Saturday marks one month since that trial, which human rights organizations consider illegal.
Quezada was abducted on November 29, 2023, for criticizing the Ortega dictatorship on his social media.
“Today marks one month and we have not received any notification, even though my family members have gone to the Public Defender’s Office and have spoken with the lawyer, but there is no resolution,” Adriana Quezada, the professor’s daughter told 100% Noticias.

“We assume it’s a post he made about Monseñor Alvarez when they exhibited him at the Modelo prison, and the next day they came for him,” says his daughter.
It has been 87 days since the detention of the university professor, a sociologist by profession, who will turn 65 on March 21. This is his second political imprisonment; the first one was in the 1970s for criticizing another dictator, Anastasio Somoza.
