• America Cuba: summary trials against detainees to sow terror

  • Cuba Police and army take to the streets a week after the protests in Cuba

"I will not shut up until I have my son back. I think that no mother should shut up her pain, they are just children who need us more than anyone else," Ida Ramos wrote on social networks.

His son, only 16 years old, was taken away by the police under the false charge of preparing explosives.

Also the father of another teenager, Glenda de la Caridad Marrero, raised his voice to denounce the arbitrary arrest of the girl on July 11.

"I do not believe that my daughter, a 15-year-old girl, has led an entire town,

we are talking about more than 10,000 people who took to the streets in the Jovellanos municipality," Lázaro Marrero told 'Diario de las Américas'. He resides in the United States, but Glenda lives with her mother in Jovellanos, a population of 60,000 in the province of Matanzas. "What vandalism did she do? None.

They are looking for a culprit and want to fuck her with my daughter."

An aunt of the minor, also a resident of North America, explained that Glenda de la Caridad limited herself to supporting the call, via WhatsApp, to take to the streets in her city, following the example of other young people in Havana.

For that reason alone they arrested her and transferred her to the Matanzas prison, without her mother being able to do anything.

There are only two cases of the half thousand detained by the Cuban dictatorship, without their families having access to them or having the assistance of lawyers.

That is why they created the

Mothers of 11-7 Movement

and organized a rally this Wednesday in the Central Park of the Cuban capital.

But the Castro regime did the impossible to abort it.

At the scheduled time, 11:00 a.m. (5:00 p.m. in the Iberian Peninsula), the sinister political police arrested, in the middle of the street, the activists

Marthadela Tamayo

and Osvaldo Navarro Veloz, when they were going to the point of the demonstration.

The complaint, from the Cuban Observatory for Human Rights, arrived on Twitter and included a recording where Navarro is heard asking "Where are we going?", Without obtaining a different response from the agent who led them to a car.

And it is that printing fear is how they try to contain the expression of the desire for democracy.

The dictatorship, now headed by Miguel Díaz-Canel, continues to silence any critical voice.

There is so much repression, intimidation, that "people no longer even want to call friends and family from the United States. There is fear that they will retaliate against their children," a Cuban who settled in recently in Miami but has relatives in Havana.

"The fear they put in is terrible.

They can arrest you just because they see that you made a call to the United States. That's why they told me they can't call these days, it's dangerous."

There are many adolescents who remain in detention and it is not easy to obtain information about their whereabouts or even confirm an exact number.

At first, and only on rare occasions, those close to him dare to raise their voices to demand a response from the authorities.

But then they cut off all communication

without it always being possible to know if they are doing it for fear of reprisals that they may take against the boys, in addition to the difficulty of connecting with someone on the Caribbean island, especially at this time.

According to the Cuban Observatory for Human Rights, there are half a thousand prisoners, and the independent platform Yo Sí Te Creo Cuba mentions that there are seventy-two women among them, several

minors.

A member of the opposition movement Estado de Sats, which defends the market economy and a country of freedoms from Cuba itself, confirms to EL MUNDO that the

repression

against those who joined the protests that began on July 11, are the kicks of a communist regime that feels like it is drowning. But it still has oxygen to recover its air, especially if the international community does not adopt forceful measures against the Cuban government or firmly support the defenders of democracy.

"They have not had the blush of making an example in front of the world.

They need families, friends, to be intimidated. But the onslaught, undertaken to postpone their fall, has added millions of Cubans to the opposition's discourse, for the first time." , he tells EL MUNDO on WhatsApp. In its eagerness to curtail freedoms, Castroism not only carries out mass arrests, it also uses methods such as blocking the way of known faces that intend to join the demonstrations. "Do not let out of the house, police and thugs of the secret police are put on the door Still, much has gone population.. Now is the democratic commitment of the free world

. Alone we can not

this regime we it can massacre and they are going to reduce the momentum of the protests. "

They lament the silence of the European Parliament, the UN, of the lukewarm Pope Francis, while some priests raise their voice against tyranny in homilies and public statements, and have detained Christian pastors.

"We are facing a civic rebellion against the violation of due process to many detainees, especially young people," Yaxis Cires, of the Cuban Observatory for Human Rights, told this newspaper.

"It is logical that there is this reaction

(the march) on the part of mothers."
