Cuban News Agency
HAVANA, Cuba, May 10 (ACN) The Cuban Government rejected a new smear campaign launched against the Revolution following the death of Cuban citizen Wilfredo Soto, on May 8, due to acute pancreatitis, at the Arnaldo Milian Castro Hospital in city of Santa Clara, central Villa Clara province.
An official note published on Tuesday by national media outlets states that unscrupulous counterrevolutionary elements said that Soto’s death was the result of alleged beatings by law enforcement officers, a lie that was quickly amplified by mainstream western media, mainly in the United States and Europe, where even some government spokespeople have voiced their concern.
According to the note, on May 6, the citizen was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain, caused by acute pancreatitis. Subsequently, he was further diagnosed with other underlying diseases such as dilated cardiomyopathy, hyperlipidemia (excess fat in the blood), diabetes and chronic hepatitis, a result of excess fat in the liver.
“Pathological tests carried out on the deceased disclosed a natural death, establishing as a preliminary cause ‘shock and multiple organ failure due to pancreatitis.’ There were no signs of internal or external violence.”
“Citizen Wilfredo Soto Juan Garcia, 46, has several criminal records, such as disorderly conduct, theft, and causing serious injury, which led him to serve two years of imprisonment.”
The official note adds that, “in recent times, he was linked to counter-revolutionaries, who used him for their provocative activities. The last incident, disturbing public order, took place on May 5 in a park in Santa Clara. He was then taken to a police station and released three hours later without incident.”
“As broad popular support for the results of the Sixth Congress of the PCC (Cuban Communist Party) is ratified and the people are committed to implementing the approved guidelines, external and internal enemies seek to discredit Cuban reality and undermine the international prestige of the Revolution and its moral strength,” the note reads.
“As expressed by the President of the councils of State and Ministers, Army General Raul Castro Ruz, in his Central Report to the Sixth Congress of the PCC:
‘We have patiently endured the relentless campaign to discredit human rights, organized and supported by the United States and several European Union countries, that demands nothing less than unconditional surrender and the immediate dismantling of our socialist system and encourages, guides and helps internal mercenaries to disobey the law.’”
“The Revolution has always defended the truth and the invincible power of the people who rely on the strength of the ideas of justice that made it possible,” the official note concludes.

JG: The only thing that the Yankee imperialists in Washington D.C. and their gusano dogs in Miami can offer to the world, on the Cuba issue or on the Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria issues, are lies and more lies. The world does not believe them anymore, since they lack morals or ethics. They are thugs. They are a true evil empire
