La Derecha Diario Another political prisoner: Colonel Arquímedes Cabrera has been imprisoned
The Army colonel was the victim of false criminal accusations for alleged events from half a century ago
Retired Colonel Arquímedes Cabrera is a victim of an ideological political persecution by the totalitarian left, mainly from the remnants of the Communist Party and MPP.
Who is Cabrera?
Arquímedes Cabrera joined the Uruguayan Army in 1972 as a second lieutenant and rose to the rank of colonel.
He participated in multiple international peacekeeping missions, including Cambodia, Angola, Kashmir, and the Congo, where he commanded Uruguayan troops.
He was praised for his high level of professionalism in these missions, especially in the Congo, where he led operations in volatile regions such as Bunia and South Kivu.
Within the Army, he is considered an excellent officer: serious, responsible, and highly effective, he enjoys enormous prestige among his fellow soldiers.
Victim of ideological persecution
In 2023, the Human Rights Prosecutor's Office, led by prosecutor Ricardo Perciballe, requested the prosecution of Cabrera for alleged torture and illegal detentions during the civic-military government.
He allegedly acted as an interrogator in Infantry Regiment No. 12 in Rocha, linked to Operation Morgan.
The case, initiated in 2011, led to his detention in 2025 at Domingo Arena prison, along with two other military officers, for alleged crimes including repeated abuse of authority and deprivation of liberty.
Perciballe also requested the closing of borders to prevent Cabrera from fleeing: a true absurdity.
An atrocious revenge
Colonel Cabrera is a victim of relentless judicial persecution.
He was formally charged and convicted with false evidence and with testimonies from former seditionists that do not withstand the slightest analysis.
The Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Human Rights Crimes continues to be used to imprison military veterans strictly for ideological reasons.
There is no evidence: the only thing that exists is a desire for revenge.
The intention behind imprisoning the old servants of the Homeland is to send a message to today's society and to that of the future.
Those who fight for freedom and for the future of the Republic may be subject to false criminal accusations and may end their days behind bars.
This attack on Colonel Cabrera is a legal aberration, a revenge motivated by people filled with hatred.
Cabrera is not the only victim of false criminal accusations who ends up imprisoned in Domingo Arena: there are dozens, and some have already passed away.
