Havana, July 29 (ANI): The wife of deceased Cuban activist Oswaldo Paya has rejected an official report that has claimed that the driver's error led to the car crash that killed him.
"I reject this report because it is the official report of the government of Cuba and because I have not had access to this information that they say they have," Ofelia Acevedo said.
According to The BBC, other members of his family said that they believe another vehicle was involved in the crash, although there is no proof of this.
Paya, a prominent rights campaigner, was killed in a car crash last Sunday.
Cuban officials said the driver was speeding when the car hit an unpaved stretch of road and spun out of control.
Acevedo said she had not been permitted access to the driver and a second survivor of the crash.
"The incorrect decision to apply the brakes abruptly on a slippery surface caused a tragic accident," the investigative team said in a report.
The report added that the vehicle hit a tree, killing Paya and the young opposition activist Harold Cepero, both of whom were seated in the back of the car and not wearing seat belts.
Paya's son prior to the report said that his father had received many death threats and that his car may have been forced off the road. (ANI)
