Communist regime officials from Cuba They carried out more than 300 repressive acts to prevent the protests called in the country, denounced the Cuban Observatory for Human Rights.
“Only yesterday we documented more than a hundred repressive actions,” this Madrid-based non-governmental organization said in a statement.
Home detention with police surveillance, summons to Police stations, threats, arrests, acts of repudiation and internet cuts were the main repressive actions verified by this organization since last Friday.
“The entire state apparatus” deployed “its regime of terror” to prevent the marches called for Monday against the Cuban government from taking place, he said.
“We are still receiving information from Cuba about this meticulous repression of the decision of peaceful citizens to exercise their rights,” said this entity for the defense of human rights in the country.
The organization demanded “the immediate release of all prisoners for political and conscientious reasons,” among them about 30 people who since Friday “remain in detention, some as missing.”
Among them he cited Daniela Rojo, from the dissident group Archipiélago, and Yanilys Sariego, a human rights activist.
The entity urged organizations such as the European Union (EU) to act against the Government of Miguel Díaz-Canel.
“Both the popular protests in July and the demands of an important part of civil society these days are clear evidence of the profound changes that the country needs and that must be political, economic and social,” he said.
The Cuban Government “has in its hands the high responsibility of beginning these necessary changes in a peaceful manner,” he concluded.
On Monday, Cuban authorities managed to almost completely quell the protest promoted by the dissent, with a strong police force in the main cities, arrests of opponents and blockades at the homes of activists and independent journalists.
The civic marches in search of a political change called by the Archipelago collective and not authorized by the Cuban Government, in an initiative inherited from the protests of July 11 last, the largest in decades in the country, sought to express discontent at the serious crisis in Cuba due to the pandemic, the United States sanctions and the economic situation.
