About 200 Cuban artists demonstrated outside the country’s culture ministry on Friday in a rare protest over freedom of expression that received support from leading Cuban cinema figures.
Authorities said the eviction of the 14 members of the San Isidro Movement was necessary due to Covid-19 protocols since one had returned from Mexico via the United States and not properly quarantined. “On the one hand, we do not have much confidence, but on the other we feel that it is an obligation,” said activist Michel Matos.The San Isidro Movement had been demanding the release of another member of the group, rapper Denis Solis, arrested on November 9 and sentenced to eight months in prison for contempt.
