Cienfuegos military trial

A military court in Cuba has completed the sedition trial and sentencing of civilians who protested last year's blackouts. Details here, courtesy of Martí Noticias.

Among the countries that, like Cuba, have a tradition of prosecuting civilians in military courts: Uganda, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, Pakistan, and Cameroon. Cases currently pending in the Supreme Courts of Uganda and Pakistan challenge the practice, which violates international human rights standards.
