The activist warned about the emotional deterioration of the artist, imprisoned since 2021 and sentenced to nine years in prison for crimes manufactured after the protests of the San Isidro movement and the song “Homeland and life”, which became a hymn of opposition to the regime.
“He is ready to die, and it is not now, it is since you put him a prisoner being a child and condemned him to be anyone. Maykel prefers death to return there,” Ramos wrote.

In June, Maykel Osorbo held a hunger strike that put his life at risk, which led Amnesty International to demand guarantees about his physical and mental integrity.
