I dunno. Considering its proximity to the US and how Cuba is one of the nations under Interpol jurisdiction, its easy for the Empire to send in some Gusano or CIA troopers to ahem suicide by gunshot him.
Assata Shakur is still alive in Cuba so i dont think they could get him
Yeah I was thinking the same, Cuba seems like the better choice because of the precedent of Shakur. But at the same time, Cuba in 1979 was much stronger and had a lot more resources to accommodate refugees than they do today, they had the soviet union to back them up so it didn't matter as much if they strained their relationship with the USA. It might be more difficult now.
Possibly slightly different to martyr a revolutionary and drag Shakur back into the open.
This CEO killer seems to have a lot of public support but he's no threat to the system; at the moment, the bourgeois press is still crafting the story and if he gets killed soon, they can spend a fortnight reshaping the official narrative and that's that.
