Taz Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Abel Santamaria was an important leader in the Cuban Revolutionary movement. Abel and his sister Haydee let revolutionaries like Fidel Castro use their tiny two-room apartment on the corner of O and 25th streets in Havana to plan the revolution. Abel and Haydee participated in the Moncada barracks assault in July 1953 that was supposed to start the revolution to overthrow Batista. After the failure in this action, they both were imprisoned with many other revolutionaries. Abel was murdered in prison after savage tortures.
