MADRID, Spain.- The Cubalex Legal Advice Center has called for a campaign to demand that the island’s regime release the Cubans detained during the popular demonstrations in Caimanera, Guantánamo province, last Saturday.
Through their social networks and under the slogan “Let’s not leave them alone”, Cubalex asked civil society to spread this campaign.
In its publication, which has already been shared hundreds of times, the organization showed the faces of those arrested. They are the brothers Luis Miguel Alarcón Martínez and Felipe Correa Martínez, who are being held in the Operations Unit in Guantánamo, located on the highway to the El Salvador municipality, three kilometers from the city of Guantánamo. While Yandris Pelier Matos and the brothers Rody and Daniel Álvarez González are reported under forced disappearance.
Alfredo Álvarez Pozo, the father of Daniel and Rody Álvarez González, told this Tuesday CubaNet that he is not sure of the whereabouts of his children and that he does not have anything to take them to jail.
“In real life I don’t know where they have them. Some say that such a day, Saturday, that you can go there to El Salvador to see them, but until now I am oblivious to that, “said the father of the two young people. “I am that I do not know what I am going to do. Right now I don’t have anything to take or cook for you,” he declared.
In the last few hours it emerged that Yeris Curbelo Aguilera, a reporter for the independent agency Palenque Vision that interviewed for CubaNet to relatives of the five people detained in Caimanerahad been summoned by State Security.
On the night of this May 6, hundreds of Guantanamo residents took to the streets due to the lack of food and the precarious conditions of the health system.
Internet service was cut by the regime during the protests. After returning the connection, several videos on networks how the military violently repressed the people. Men and women were thrown to the ground and beaten.
Among the numerous organizations and personalities that have spoken out against the violence of the Castro government and the detention of protesters are Amnesty International, the Cuban Observatory for Human Rights, the singers Aymée Nuviola, Yotuel Romero, Daymé Arocena and the writer Wendy Guerra.
