The heartbreaking letter from a Cuban prison: a political prisoner denounced five years of torture and death threats

A Cuban political prisoner arrested during the massive July 11, 2021 protests has smuggled out a four-page handwritten letter detailing five years of severe mistreatment. Sent to the organization Prisoners Defenders, the correspondence alleges persistent torture and death threats endured while incarcerated in a Cuban prison.

Simultaneously, law enforcement authorities in Guatemala apprehended a 21-year-old male suspect linked to an alleged explosives threat following the issuance of an international alert. The arrest was executed through a joint operation conducted by the Guatemalan Public Ministry and the National Civil Police.
