HAVANA, Cuba, Oct 16 (ACN) The La Plata Hall of the Fidel Castro Center in Havana hosted the panel “A propósito” in remembrance of Fidel Castro's defense arguments, known as “History Will Absolve Me”, when he represented himself in court 71 years ago after he was denied the right to counsel.
The panelists—Rubén Remigio Ferro, president of the People's Supreme Court; Jaime René Teruel, Professor of Law at the University of Havana, and the Law student Alberto Calderón Fernández—referred to the importance of the teachings that Fidel left us as an attorney who presented a brilliant self-defense brief during a trial turned denunciation stage in which he proved the intentions of the Moncada attackers and their hopes for change through the Cuban Revolution.
Professor Teruel gave an overview of the trial of the revolutionaries and highlighted that the judges underestimated Fidel and his ability to assume his own legal defense, aware as he was that no public defender appointed to him would have the necessary true elements to advocate for his cause.
