Among the numerous messages of support for the opposition, shared on social networks, that of Rosa Chente stands out, who pointed out: “They do not know that this Lady in White is not scared by a dungeon. She moves her a UNIVERSAL right ”.
While Francisco L. Ortiz expressed: “We are thousands of people who, from Spain, follow you and admire your courage. You have to put an end to that murderous regime. The Cuban people cannot continue to put up with those satraps who have kidnapped your freedom and your lives.”
For his part, William Tamayo Ramayo, demanded: “Down with the harassment and political persecution against human rights activists. Immediate freedom for all our brothers political prisoners in Cuba”.
Since the Ladies in White announced in January 2022 that they were reactivating “the campaign of confrontation for the freedom of all political prisoners without exclusion”, its members have been subjected to constant surveillance and arrests.
