The Committee of Help to Dissent 2506 accused Castro and Cienfuegos of crimes against humanity.
The complaint was based on the deaths of nine participants in the US-fuelled Bay of Pigs invasion attempt in 1961. The nine were caught and died of suffocation inside a lorry transporting them to a prison in Havana.
The dissidents accused Cienfuegos, who was also travelling on the lorry, and Castro of responsibility for the prisoners` fate.
In 2005, the National Court rejected a similar complaint against Castro, Cienfuegos, Castro`s brother Raul and diplomat Carlos Amat.
