NEW YORK — The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) welcomes the U.N. determination that the November 2016 arrest and subsequent imprisonment of Cuban graffiti artist Danilo “El Sexto” Maldonado was arbitrary. In a ruling published today, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) explained that Maldonado was denied due process, and recommended the Cuban State to provide him with compensation for his nearly two months of wrongful imprisonment.
