The young activists from El4tico, who have faced oppression from the Cuban regime, have shed light on what they term the "moral discrepancy" used to justify the harm done under the guise of the common good in one of their videos.
In a striking commentary, they assert, "This is precisely how institutional cynicism is built—not because they are unaware of the damage they cause, but because acknowledging the truth is no longer an option for them."
Last Friday, these individuals connected to the El4tico project were apprehended in Holguín during a dawn operation between six and seven in the morning, as reported by the platform Ciudadanía y Libertad on social media platform X.
The organization identified those detained as Ernesto Ricardo Medina and Kamil Zayas Pérez. According to the report, they were taken to the province's Penal Instruction headquarters, notoriously known as "Everybody Sings."
Ciudadanía y Libertad condemned the facility, likening it to the "Villa Marista of Holguín," and noted it has been repeatedly accused of torture, brutal interrogations, and degrading treatment.
During the crackdown, authorities reportedly confiscated computers, phones, cameras, and other equipment the young activists used for documenting their efforts.
