The bodies of the young women arrived on May 25 in Havana, two months after his death in the United States. The Cuban authorities delayed the transfer and delivery to his relatives, citing fuel shortages.
The families denounced the obstacles to transporting the bodies, which they attributed to the inefficiency and “lack of respect, empathy, sensitivity, ethics and feelings” of the government leaders, whom they described as “corrupt.”
