Why is it when I ask for academic, scholarly reviewed reports on Che Guevara killing innocents, they can't...?
The application of the death penalty in Cuba against war criminals and others followed the same procedure as that seen in the trials by the Allies in the Nuremberg trials. Had the Revolutionary Government not applied severe legislation against the few hundred torturers, terrorists, and other criminals long employed by the Batista regime, the people themselves would have taken justice into their own hands–as happened during the anti-Machado rebellion–and thrown the society into chaos. It was only the population’s confidence in the government’s effective and cautiously selective administration of revolutionary justice that kept the society in order. The death penalty was imposed on the enemies of the people–those who had killed, tortured, and committed crimes against humanity during the revolutionary war and continued to conspire against the revolution. These were the traitorous elements that supported and participated in the Batista regime and received shelter in the United States or Falangist Spain and those that feared fulfillment of the promise to the end of cl privilege, exploitation, and all abuses of the Batista regime maintained by the overthrown Cuban bourgeoisie, American corporations, and the U.S. regime.
