MADRID, Spain.- Journalist Abdiel Bermúdez, from the Cuban Television Information System, shared through social networks that his cell phone was stolen this week.
“Yesterday I ‘lost’ my mobile, troop… Someone felt they had the right to take it without permission and… turned it off!” he said from Facebook without offering details of the robbery.
In response to a comment from a netizen, he mentioned that the robbery occurred on Tuesday between 8:00 and 9:00 in the morning at a bus terminal, although he did not specify which one.
In comments to the publication, several acquaintances of Bermúdez said they had gone through a similar situation.
this same week Claudia Lugohost of Canal Habana, warned about the increase in violence in the Cuban streets.
As he recounted, at 9:00 in the morning this Wednesday, after leaving the gym and while he was walking along Fifth Avenue in the Playa municipality, with his cell phone in hand, a man approached him and said: “Go on, what They are going to do the same thing to you that I do… snatch cell phones.”
“I swear my blood pressure dropped. At the moment of telling me this, the man sent himself to run between the cars. I had to stop and breathe. I put the cell phone away and searched along the road to make sure that man didn’t show up again. I don’t know if that alert was because he couldn’t do anything in the middle of Fifth Avenue, I don’t know if he had already met his quota today, the truth is that it left me thinking about the violence that Cuba is experiencing today,” Lugo shared.
At the end of last year, a 58-year-old Cuban resident of Pinar del Río, was hit in the head while trying to rob him. According to the radio station Radio Guamá, he was attacked with their fists and stones by three people.
Complaints about events like these are becoming more frequent on social networks, some have even been published by the official press.
