Provincial prosecutors seek sentences of up to ten years for four Bayamo residents
The case file dated July 2026 lists different requests for Ariel Arzuaga, Yaquelín García Jaen and Daniel Barrios in a case involving propaganda against the constitutional order.
Granma provincial prosecutors filed sentencing requests against four Bayamo residents accused of alleged propaganda against the constitutional order. The available information places the matter within criminal proceedings and describes requests for prison terms but provides no final judicial ruling. The disclosed amounts are therefore what prosecutors requested and should not be read as sentences already imposed.
The case file is dated July 2026 and, according to the available excerpt, organizes the request around four people from Bayamo. Only three are individually named: Ariel Arzuaga, Yaquelín García Jaen and Daniel Barrios. The excerpt does not identify the fourth person or provide other personal details, so the list cannot be completed beyond the confirmed information.
The requested sentences differ: prosecutors seek ten years in prison for Ariel Arzuaga, nine for Yaquelín García Jaen and seven for Daniel Barrios. The first request reaches a decade, while the other two are lower. The passage does not specify an individual request for the fourth person, so no figure should be assigned or inferred.
The disclosed position concerns alleged propaganda against the constitutional order and sentencing requests made by Granma provincial prosecutors. That wording describes an accusation and a request by the prosecuting authority; it does not by itself show that a court imposed those terms. The distinction is central to reporting the case accurately: the years cited are prosecutorial requests, not a confirmed judicial decision.
With the available data, the verifiable scope is limited to the accusation, the number of people mentioned and the three individualized sentencing requests. The excerpts do not detail the circumstances, evidence, date of a possible hearing or the defendants’ position. Those gaps prevent description of additional procedural stages; the concrete fact is that provincial prosecutors are seeking prison terms on the stated charge.
