Cuba announced a leadership shake-up on Tuesday, the second this month.
Attorney General Juan Escalona Reguera, who fought under Fidel and Raúl Castro in the rebel army that toppled the dictator Fulgencio Batista more than 50 years ago, is stepping down for health reasons., according to a brief statement read on state television.
Mr. Escalona Reguera, 78, apparently will remain a member of the Communist Party Central Committee; he will be assigned unspecified “other duties” on the Council of State, Cuba’s highest governing body, according to the statement.
Two weeks ago, Cuba announced, without explanation, that it had replaced another veteran revolutionary, Rogelio Acevedo, who had overseen airlines and airports.
