Famed defector sues Cuban-American critics – former Cuban Gen. Rafael del Pino

Twenty years later and living in Miami, del Pino wrote a pair of articles last summer in Spanish-language newspapers calling for a thaw in U.S.-Cuba relations. That prompted a hostile backlash from prominent members of Miami’s virulently Castro-hating Cuban exile community.

Now, del Pino has responded with a federal lawsuit seeking thousands of dollars in damages for what he says is a campaign by Little Havana notables to silence him by using popular Spanish-language television and radio stations to unjustly criticize him. Del Pino even says he was threatened with a public mob lynching on one radio program.

The intent of this campaign, del Pino said in the lawsuit, was to “harass, intimidate, and ultimately execute” him and his family.”*
