Armando Valladares Perez

Born in Cuba. Member of the repressive forces of the Fulgencio Batista tyranny. Detained and sanctioned for terrorists actions against cinemas and other social facilities. He was a member of various counterrevolutionary organizations. He passed himself off as an invalid poet so as to receive help from organizations and people outside the country, who requested his release on humanitarian grounds. Ultimately he traveled to the U.S. after his farce was made public. He was used by the U.S. government, acting in concert with the Miami mafia, in provocative actions against the Cuban Revolution during sessions of the UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva.
