Unaccustomed to seeing riots in the streets of the island, let alone seeing the police use batons, tear gas or fire shots in the air, Cubans were still in shock on Monday, after the historic anti-government protests the day before.

», President Miguel Diaz-Canel for his part calling on his supporters to respond in the street.

At least ten people were arrested and several police officers used plastic pipes to beat protesters and an AP photographer, while the city was placed under a large military and police deployment.
