Cuban Activist Oswaldo Payá's Suspicious Death Remains Unsolved, Commission Finds
- An international human rights commission found that Cuba's state security was likely involved in Payá’s 2012 car crash death.
- Payá spearheaded a pro-democracy petition campaign in Cuba called the Varela Project.
- Cuba did not participate in the commission's investigation into Payá's death.
- Many questions remain about the exact circumstances of Payá's death, which also killed fellow activist Harold Cepero.
- Payá's death is seen by many as an assassination by the Cuban government to silence a leading critic.
