The man, still unidentified, was alone, in the Central Park of Holguín, naked, covered from the waist down with some kind of cloth, barefoot and with the words “liberty” and “patria y vida” painted on his chest. Passers-by looked at him in surprise, many of them with his cell phone raised, recording it, while he shouted “homeland and life.”
Behind him, an individual easily distinguishable as a plainclothes State Security agent began to walk immediately. At a good distance, the spontaneous protester kept shouting: “If here there really is freedom of expression, they have to respect it.” And he repeated: “Homeland and life”, “Liberty”.
The man managed to advance several blocks to San José Park, but a short time later, he was surrounded by a large group of police officers and put into a patrol car with bad manners.
No one of the dozens of onlookers who witnessed the event came to defend the citizen, who remained peaceful at all times.
