HAVANA (AP) — Relatives and friends of Cubans arrested during the unprecedented recent protests on the island said authorities are carrying out summary trials at a time when Cuba s government is receiving criticism from international groups and governments, including the U.S., for its crackdown on the demonstrations. Martha Acosta, mother of 38-year-old plastic artist Carlos González Acosta, told The Associated Press that her son was sentenced to 10 months in prison on Tuesday for public disorder. She said she wasn t able to attend the trial in Havana because she was not informed of it until it was over. “It doesn’t seem fair to me. My son has no record, he is not a criminal,” said Acosta. She said the family will appeal the sentence before a tribunal.
