Cuba's military court will try influencer for alleged espionage
A military court in Cuba will try Eduardo Ceballos, a young man known on digital platforms under the name Despingovery Chanel, following his arrest on suspicion of espionage.
According to reporting by Telemundo 51, the detention occurred several weeks ago, after the influencer published footage shot at an abandoned military base. In those images, obsolete equipment could be observed.
The decision to place the case under military jurisdiction indicates that Cuban authorities consider the young man's activity to constitute a violation against state security. Military courts on the island typically handle cases related to alleged threats to national sovereignty or armed forces facilities.
Ceballos had gained prominence on social media for his posts, which included content recorded in restricted or abandoned areas of state facilities.
