He set up Popular Revolutionary Tribunals to prosecute public officials charged with political crimes[12] and corruption, considering such elements of the state counter-revolutionaries.[15] This led to criticism by Amnesty International for human rights violations, including extrajudicial executions and arbitrary detentions of political opponents.[16]

idk sounds pretty authoritarian to me.

His country had corruption!

Im sure there is a better way but your acting like having tribunals makes you authoritarian.

It doesn't.
