I have yet to find a single credible source pointing to a case where Che executed "an innocent". Those persons executed by Guevara or on his orders were condemned for the usual crimes punishable by death at times of war or in its aftermath: desertion, treason or crimes such as rape, torture or murder. I should add that my research spanned five years, and included anti-Castro Cubans among the Cuban-American exile community in Miami and elsewhere.

—Jon Lee Anderson, author of Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life

Well, yeah, obviously you have to purge the anti-revolutionaries. If someone doesn't want to be under communism they have to be eliminated, naturally.
