Notice biographique
Raúl Chibás Ribas (April 25, 1916 - August 25, 2002) was a Cuban politician and military official. He was an initial supporter of Fidel Castro's Cuban Revolution, opposing the government of Fulgencio Batista in the 1950s and serving in various positions within the revolutionary government, including railroad commissioner and as a judge at Castro's request. His older brother Eduardo was the founder and leader of the Orthodox Party (Party of the Cuban People - Orthodox); the younger Chibás took over as party leader in 1951 after the death of his brother by suicide.
Chibás eventually defected to the United States in 1960. He was an anti-Castro activist in the United States, calling for the overthrow of Castro's government in the 1960s. He worked as a teacher in New York City before moving to Caracas, Venezuela, in the 1980s. Chibás settled in Miami in 1991, where he lived until his death in 2002.
