In the streets of Morón, Ciego de Ávila, where last night the people took to the streets to demand freedom, the story of a Cuban teenager was also marked. He has been identified as Kevin Samuel Echeverría, just 15 years old, who decided to join the protests alongside his people, tired of the hunger, the blackouts, the misery, and the lack of a future that afflicts Cuba.
However, the repressive response did not take long to arrive, and Kevin was wounded by a police gunshot during the demonstrations, becoming another symbol of repression against the Cuban people.
His case adds to the list of young people who have been persecuted, beaten, or imprisoned simply for daring to demand freedom.
The story of Kevin Samuel Echeverría is proof that in Cuba not only adults are being repressed, but that even minors are paying the price for raising their voices.
Today, his case is spreading across social media and awakening the indignation of thousands of Cubans inside and outside the island, because when a people reaches the point where its own children go out to protest, it is because the suffering has surpassed all limits.
