Three judges and a prosecutor, Rubio said, would be prohibited from entering the United States for what the U.S. called a “gross violation of human rights” in the case of Cuban dissident Luis Robles.
He was charged with “disobedience” and “enemy propaganda,“ according to his family and rights groups.
Cuban judges Gladys Maria Padrón Canals, Maria Elena Fornari Conde, and Juan Sosa Orama, as well as prosecutor Yanaisa Matos Legrá, oversaw the case and would be sanctioned, Rubio said.
“They are responsible for the sham legal processes that unjustly target, convict, and sentence individuals for peaceful expressions and activism.”
Although Cuba's 2019 constitution grants citizens the right to protest, a law more specifically defining that right has for years been stalled in the legislature, leaving those who protest in legal limbo.
Cuba's government, which did not immediately respond to Rubio's announcement, maintains that the U.S. stokes protests, or finances them, in a bid to foment unrest on the island.
