古巴最知名的异见人士梅诺约在哈瓦那去世，终年77岁。他是1959年古巴革命期间菲德尔·卡斯特罗的盟友，但后来武装起义反对他，但未能成功。Will Grant报道。

Eloy Gutierrez-Menoyo was one of the few men who actively fought on both sides of the Cuban revolution. Born in Madrid, he was the son of a republican fighter against General Franco in the Spanish civil war. His family moved to Cuba in the 40s and he eventually took up arms with Fidel Castro. However, after the revolution took power and became openly Marxist, Leninist in character, Gutierrez-Menoyo began to lose faith with its leadership. He fled to Miami in 1961 and helped set up an arm unit called Alpha 66 intended to remove Castro from power. They returned to Cuba with that aim in 1964, but were caught within a month.

梅诺约是少数几个在古巴革命中与两派都战斗过的人。他出生在马德里，是西班牙内战期间反对佛朗哥将军的共和党斗士之子。40年代他家搬到古巴，他最后与菲德尔·卡斯特罗并肩作战。然而，随着革命夺取政权后并公开成为马列主义者后，梅诺约开始对卡斯特罗的领导失去信念。1961年他逃到迈阿密，帮助成立了一支意在推翻卡斯特罗的武装部队，名为阿尔法66。他们怀着这个目标于1964年回到古巴，但不到一个月就被捕了。
