Ivan Fernandez Depestre, a young Afro-Cuban democracy activist, was arrested on July 30th for participating in a peaceful protest in the town of Placetas, Villa Clara.
A few days later, in an arbitrary process, he was handed a 2-year prison term under the Castro regime's preemptive "social dangerousness" decree. This is a common ruse used to imprison peaceful democracy activists in Cuba.
As Cuban democracy leader Jorge Luis Garcia Perez "Antunez" explained to The Miami Herald's Editorial Board today, the Castro regime's aggressiveness toward Depestre is enhanced by the fact he is relatively unknown. In other words, he doesn't have "international protection."
Let's make sure the world learns about Ivan Fernandez Depestre and his unjust imprisonment.
