The Cuban, resident in Alicante, tells that yesterday the family in Cuba received the prosecutor’s petition against her father, in which he is accused of being an organizer of the demonstrations and contempt.

“Contempt for ripping off three buttons from the uniform of an officer who repressed the demonstrations, which is totally false because the videos mu They are my father handcuffed and with his hands up, because he is not a violent person, “he said.

“My grandparents are elderly people, about 80 years old, and this whole situation has them on the brink of despair because since July my father has been in preventive detention in a Villa Clara prison without committing any crime, “added the young woman.

“My family in Cuba asked me to stop making complaints inInternet because that could aggravate their situation and to please them I did so, but now that the Cuban judicial system has disappointed me again and my father’s life is in danger, I want everyone to know about his situation and make the case visible, because it is not fair for an innocent man to be in jail, “he pointed out.

During all this time, he says that the family has been able to see him only once, at least she knows, and at that time she had a hematoma in one of her eyes and they prevented her from accessing some medications she needed for a foot injury.

On excessive tax requests, the Cuban Observatory for Human Rights (OCDH) warned that the protests are equated with the crime of homicide , according to the Current Penal Code.
