Repression of a massive march



While participating in a massive protest march against the government and the abysmal living conditions of Cubans, in the afternoon, the human rights activist was attacked with stones by the rapid response group sent by the regime to break up the demonstration. As a result, he was hit in the right leg, where he was injured and required two surgical stitches to close the wound. In the midst of the melee, the victim was unable to identify the assailant. The following day he was arrested by two agents of the National Revolutionary Police, who were acting under the orders of a State Security agent.
