HAVANA — Cuba’s Supreme Court on Tuesday commuted the death sentence against a Cuban- American who was the last person remaining on death row in the island nation, according to a veteran human- rights activist. Elizardo Sanchez, the head of the independent Havana-based Cuban Commission on Human Rights and National Reconciliation, said the court sentenced Humberto Eladio Real to 30 years in prison instead.
On Oct. 15, 1994, Real and six other members of a Florida-based exile group came ashore in northern Cuba, armed with assault rifles and other weapons. A man was killed, and the group was captured shortly thereafter.
