Cuban singer La Diosa recently raised her voice to demand justice for political prisoner Yosvany Rosell García, who has been on a hunger strike for 39 days. His life is in serious jeopardy due to health complications, including kidney damage.
In a video shared on her social media platforms, the artist expressed her support for the prisoner and criticized the Cuban regime for imprisoning individuals merely for having differing opinions.
"Today, I want to speak out for Yosvany Rosell García, a Cuban political prisoner who has been on a hunger strike for 39 days. His only crime was to speak out, to think differently, to denounce the dictatorship, and to demand freedom—something that should be a right, not a punishment.
Yosvany is already experiencing kidney damage; his life is in danger, and this is no longer about politics, but about humanity," stated La Diosa, visibly moved.
The singer also directed a message at the Cuban regime, accusing them of oppressing their people for decades.
"To the dictatorship, I have a message: for decades, you have crushed the people, thinking you can still intimidate everyone, but you deceive no one anymore. The misery, fear, and pain you have sown follow you wherever you try to hide," she declared.
The case of Yosvany Rosell García, who is imprisoned in Kilo 8 in Camagüey, has ignited growing concern among activists and human rights organizations. They denounce the deterioration of his health and the inadequate medical care he receives.
According to reports from CiberCuba, García began his hunger strike to demand his release and to protest the inhumane conditions of the Cuban prison system.
La Diosa, one of the most popular and outspoken Cuban artists against the government, reiterated her solidarity with all political prisoners on the island and urged the international community not to remain silent in the face of repression.
"As an artist and as a human being, my support goes to him and his family, to all those who are paying with their bodies for what should be paid with justice," she concluded.
