Orlando Bosch

Orlando Bosch was a Cuban-born activist involved in anti-government activities, notably supporting armed resistance against Fidel Castro's regime. In the 1960s and 70s, he was linked to bombings targeting Cuban and U.S. interests, which resulted in loss of life, and was considered a controversial figure. Bosch was imprisoned in Venezuela, then extradited to the U.S., where he faced charges but was acquitted of some. His supporters viewed him as a fighter for Cuban freedom, while critics saw him as a terrorist. He remains a symbolic and polarizing figure in discussions about activism, political violence, and U.S.-Cuba relations.
