Gerardo Hernandez Promoted to Deputy National Coordinator of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution

Havana, April 8 (RHC)– Gerardo Hernández, Hero of the Republic of Cuba and one of the Five Cuban anti-terrorists who were imprisoned in the United States, was promoted to Deputy National Coordinator of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR), a mass organization that brings together an enormous percentage of the island’s population.

The announcement was made on the CDR’s Facebook page, where they wished success to the Cuban hero and deputy to the National Assembly of the People’s Power.

Hernandez was until now the vice-rector of the Raúl Roa García Institute of International Relations. The Committees for the Defense of the Revolution were founded by the leader of the Cuban revolution, Fidel Castro, on September 28, 1960. [edited for RHC by Jorge Ruiz Miyares].

Editor’s Note: Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, alias “Manuel Viramontes,” was arrested for espionage as a leader in the 40+ member spy ring known as the Wasp Network. Publically, he was lauded by the Cuban government for going to jail rather than accepting a plea agreement. In reality, however, Havana has always treated its jailed spies as “tainted” and therefore untrustworthy upon release. We hope he enjoys his irrelevant job overseeing his nation’s neighborhood snitch program. Community-based CDRs are low-level surveillance forces subordinate to the National CDR, which is a component of the National Revolutionary Police.

  1. The institute Raúl Roa Garcia is an spy organization with the only objective of cultivating spies. The Cuban CDR, is a repressive organization surrogated to the Cuban Police. This organization reports the activity within their neighborhood to the sector chief.Normally, a Police Lieutenant or directly to an officer of the DSE/ MININT.
    Among many of their duties is to single out the dissidence and participate in physical beatings, home searches and delations and poisoning of the dissidents pets, grafitti their homes with communist slogans, Generally they comprise the scum of society.
