Cuban military tribunal to try influencer for alleged espionage
A military tribunal in Cuba will try Eduardo Ceballos, a content creator known on social media under the pseudonym Despingovery Chanel, for alleged espionage. The influencer's detention occurred several weeks ago, following his publication of videos filmed at an abandoned military base in which disused equipment could be observed.
The information was reported by Telemundo 51, which specified that Cuban authorities consider that the dissemination of those images constitutes espionage activity. Ceballos was arrested after sharing on his digital platforms the audiovisual material showing the interior of the military facility.
The case highlights the hardening of military justice in Cuba against those who leak information or images linked to facilities of the Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, even when these are no longer in service. The espionage charge before a military tribunal means that the proceedings will be governed by Cuban military penal legislation, which provides for severe sanctions for crimes against state security.
