MIAMI, United States.- Cuban residents of Nuevitas, Camagüey, continue to denounce the repression that the Castro regime has unleashed against families from the town of Pastelillo, where massive anti-government protests were registered last weekend.
According to what Abel Ultra Montenegro, cousin of Ivonne Breijo, the mother of one of the minors beaten during the police repression, the neighborhood is isolated and militarized. “There is even a trail that blocks a bridge that is the access from Pastelillo to Nuevitas.”
Montenegro told Yaima Pardo this Thursday during a direct interview with CubaNet how her family has been repressed since the protests, and revealed that the regime’s agents have even subjected Beatriz, her cousin’s daughter, who is only 11 years old, to interrogation.
“State Security picked her up yesterday morning and around 11 at night they returned her home. All day questioning them.”
He also added that they have been monitored on the roof of the building where they live, “as if they were terrorists.” The government is using drones to film even the neighborhood, he said.
“After that day, Beatriz has had a hard time sleeping, she is an 11-year-old girl who has been traumatized after what she experienced at the hands of police officers and State Security. She saw blows and they even grabbed her by the neck, ”said Montenegro.
“That is going to leave her scarred for life, and her rib still hurts from the blows she received,” he said.
As he explained, the residents of Nuevitas are already tired, and the children see what their parents go through, the children live the same as their families. “In Nuevitas for more than two months, daily blackouts are more than half the day, people can’t sleep, and there are some who can’t even cook,” she said.
