Detained and accused of assault for opposing the authorities in a park

Yoexis Llorente Bermúdez, activist from the Cuban Reflection Movement, was sitting in the park of the town of Lajas in the province of Cienfuegos, chatting with 22 other young people. Soon, policemen in blue uniforms came to tell them that they had to leave. Yoexis and his colleagues told the authorities that they would stay in the park because they considered it a free space for recreation. One of the uniformed men tried to take the gun out. Thus, Yoexis and Oscar Luis undressed their shirts and said: '' if you want to shoot, shoot here''. On the spot, everyone was detained. Yoexis has been detained since May 17. He is accused of ''Assault''.
