Cuban exiles reported Monday that they have received from Cuba “verified” videos and photographs showing groups of Cubans taking to the streets to demand change in different parts of the island, despite the fact that “Cuba is under siege by repressive forces” to prevent the March for Change (Marcha por el Cambio.)”
“We are seeing dozens of arrests,” Orlando Gutiérrez, leader of the Assembly of Cuban Resistance, told EFE news agency from the information center set up by exile forces in Miami to be able to provide reliable data on the Civic March for Change called for this November 15 (15N) in Cuba.
Silvia Iriondo, from MAR por Cuba, said that it is “obvious” that they are “besieging” the country to “prevent Cubans from going out to march” and there are “many rallies of repudiation” by the “shock forces” which, she said, the dictatorship is arming with sticks and other blunt objects to prevent the opposition from leaving their homes.
Both asked not to forget the obstacles that exist for the march called by the Archipelago group to be multitudinous, but said that the important thing is that the Cuban people demand a change and “the eyes of the world are on Cuba.”
