Another Cuban Woman Locked Up for Political Activism

Lazara Karenia Gonzalez, a 28-year-old woman, is still being held in detention after taking part in the July 11th protests in Cardenas.

Alva Fierro from Sweden took our photo of the day: “Havana, Cuba at Christmas”.

For their alleged participation in the civic July 11th protests the prosecution seeks Draconian sentences.

Six months after the events, we are seeing rigged trials in which long sentences are requested for those who protested peacefully.

In this work we show some of these signs and posters that exist today in Havana. Some are commercial others are political. (43 pictures)

Ed Wrobel from Canada took our picture of the day: “Traffic Jam” in Viñales, Cuba.

Lee Arden Lewis from Canada took our photo of the day: “Traffic Sign”, in Havana, Cuba, using an iPhone Pro Max camera.

This negative response comes after almost a year since thousands of people linked to the sector called for this activity to be legalized.

“Two decades of arbitrary detention without trial accompanied by torture or ill treatment is simply unacceptable for any government…”

This was a song by Los Van Van, back in the ‘80s. It was about the phenomenon of Cubans migrating to the capital from the country’s interior.
