15-N, the march that the Cuban opposition expects since last July
The demonstrations of last July in Cuba, motivated by food shortage and the humanitarian crisis, ended with more than 500 people arrested and the violation of human rights to at least 130 people.According to human rights investigation, abuse against protesters followed a deliberate plan whose sole purpose was to silence, as were the protesters.Despite the repression, the call to return to the streets emerged days later, on August 9, and since then the march has had to change strategy in its attempt not to be silenced.
The 15-N demonstration was initially scheduled to start in Havana at three in the afternoon from the Malecon to the Central Park.It is uncertain, however, what happens on Monday because since Sunday several opposition leaders and journalists have been besieged by police officers who have prevented them from leaving their homes.
