In recent protests there have been dozens of demonstrators arrested who join the thousand Cuban political prisoners, nobody thinks that they are imprisoned by a communist government, they are imprisoned by the fear and indifference of the majority of Cubans, with few honorable exceptions.

Since the beginning of last year, Father Kenny has been denouncing the regime and advocating for the freedom of Cuba.
in January 2021 He urged Cubans during a Sunday mass not to be complicit in the abuses, injustices and lies of the island government.
We must “break the chain of fear, lies, division and complicit silence that enslaves us. (…) We will break that chain with the strength of love, truth, unity, and protesting without violence, without rancor”, he said on that occasion.
That same month he was among the hundreds of clerics and laity living in Cuba and abroad who signed a letter asking Cubans to act without fear to achieve a democratic country.
The Justice 11J working group has recorded at least 20 arrests in the protests that have taken place since last Friday in various provinces of the country.
To stop these demonstrations, the Cuban authorities have sent shock troops dressed in civilian clothes, as well as trucks with regime agents who have broken up the protests with extreme violence.
