Cubans in Madrid will support the demonstration
For her part, Cuban art critic and activist Yanelys Núñez Leyva called on Cubans residing in Madrid to join the initiative.
“Here, in Madrid, we will be replicating or linking in a hug with the Cubans of Miami, who tomorrow will be in front of the Ermita de la Caridad advocating for the freedom of all political prisoners, especially Luis and Maykel” said Núñez Leyva on his Instagram profile.
