Marbelis Peña, mother of Sgt. Miguel Eduardo Ramos Peña, denounces his conviction as a setup for his commander's promotion.
Ramos Peña was arrested on November 24, 2024, after being tricked into an 'interview' and taken to El Helicoide.
Eight of ten detainees in the same case were released on August 19, but Ramos Peña and another official remain imprisoned.
The final trial hearing was held secretly in El Rodeo, without defense lawyers present, and used alleged evidence not in the original file.
