LIMA, Peru – From a Criminal Investigation cell in the province of Holguín, where the Cuban regime keeps him imprisoned for political reasons, the young member of the El4tico audiovisual project, Kamil Zayas Pérez, sent a message to the people of the Island.
The note was shared on Facebook by Paula Amador Lobón, who explained that Kamil asked her to make her message public.
“What started as a humble room, they have managed to turn it into a huge house. It has been worth it. Don’t give up. Let’s now build a town, a fair and good one. We are counting on you. Long live Cuba Digna,” reads Kamil’s message.
For his part, Amador Lobón highlighted that the process that is trying to build the dictatorship on the Island “both Kamil and Ernesto is another example that in Cuba people are repressed for thinking differently.” “Needless to say, Kamil is not alone. All that greatness is supported by those of us around him,” he added.
On February 12, the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office of Holguín reported that “controls the criminal process” initiated to investigate the alleged crimes of “propaganda against the constitutional order and instigation to commit a crime” against the young people Ernesto Ricardo Medina and Kamil Zayas Pérez, whom it secured “with the precautionary measure of provisional detention,” according to an official note published on the social networks of that institution.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office, the process was opened after learning that from “the digital space identified as El4tico” “publications were made that incite the people, the members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces and the Ministry of the Interior to change the constitutional order of the Republic of Cuba; and defame the actions of the country’s political and social institutions.”
The note adds that “instruction proceedings are carried out to provide evidence and complete the investigations” and that, once concluded, the Prosecutor’s Office “will adopt the corresponding procedural decisions,” “with respect for the rights and guarantees enshrined in the Constitution and the laws.”
This ruling came after the Popular Provincial Court of Holguín admitted an appeal for habeas corpus in favor of Medina and Zayas, detained since February 6.
Since the arrest, hundreds of young people have joined a network campaign to demand the release of the members of El4tico. Even the Spanish singers Alejandro Sanz and Melendi shared complaints about the arrest of the two young people in their Instagram stories.
