Former prosecutor Yeilis Torres Cruz denounced presenter Humberto López for assault before the police, but she ended up being accused of the crime of attack and forced to remain under house arrest.
“I am accused of an attack and under house arrest,” Torres Cruz wrote on her Facebook page four hours after publishing her intentions to go to the doctor and then file a complaint with the National Revolutionary Police (PNR).
Torres Cruz went to the doctor due to injuries from the attack suffered at the hands of Humberto López. The report reports lacerations on the face, neck and both forearms, as reported by the opponent in a direct message on Facebook.
However, at the Cristóbal Labra polyclinic, where Torres Cruz went, they did not want to give her the injury certificate with which the activist wanted to file the complaint. In another direct, made from the Facebook account of another activist, the former prosecutor explained that at the polyclinic they had told her that the injury report was delivered directly to the police, once the complaint was filed.
According to the activist, they took x-rays and He has a crack on his face and another on his left arm.. Even without the medical report, Torres Cruz stated that he would appear at the police station to report Humberto López for assault, abuse and mistreatment of women. He showed the x-rays with the injuries as the evidence he would present.
In addition, He reported that a rapid action group was already being organized in front of his house and on his block. "I don't know what they are making up. Stay tuned," the activist warned. "Humberto López's mask fell off! Let's see what Díaz-Canel and Cuban television say now!" said an activist who accompanied him.
Under these conditions and knowing the state of defenselessness to which she was exposed, the former prosecutor headed to file a complaint with the PNR. However, she ended up being accused of attacking Humberto López and placed under house arrest.
You will only be able to leave the house to buy essential items or “stand in lines,” as Torres Cruz described in his direct. Likewise, a summons was issued to her for Monday at 9 in the morning, to be interrogated by State Security, she stated.
“There was Lieutenant Colonel Tania, who we all know as a dangerous repressor. A Major attended to me. Tania didn't even speak, she just told me that she was accused of an attack,” said Torres Cruz before her live interview was interrupted.
The former prosecutor reported that she has been without internet service on her mobile phone since she made public the video - which she broadcast live - in which she recorded Cuban television presenter Humberto López leaving the house of an alleged lover.
"Humbertico, how are you doing? Can you explain to the world what you do at your beloved's house if you are a married man?" the activist from the Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU) was heard asking.
"Who are you, my life?" the presenter asked him in turn. “A human rights activist,” Torres Cruz responded, which triggered the attack by the spokesperson of the Cuban regime with the intention of snatching her cell phone.
The struggle between the two was recorded on the video. According to what he claimed in a later direct interview, he managed to hide his phone in his private parts, but the presenter still tried to snatch it away.
In the altercation, the aggressor broke a chain, threw her to the floor and hit her in front of everyone, according to the activist's testimony. “I ran out of the building where he was with his lover, and I escaped through another hallway of another building, there he grabbed me and hit me again,” he explained.
Torres Cruz reported that it was at that moment that Humberto López took off her dress and photographed her naked with the help of the taxi driver who was waiting for him in a yellow car.
In another direct connection, the victim asked to download the videos of her complaint because she had received a notification that her Facebook had been opened, allegedly, by State Security.
Visibly affected, the activist confessed that she felt humiliated and violated by the spokesperson of the dictatorship, the main piece in the regime's strategy of disqualifications, lies and manipulations to confront independent civil society activists.
López, promoter of the reputational assassinations carried out against activists and opponents on the island through Cuban television, has become a detestable character for thousands of Cubans for his manipulation of reality, and even fabricating cases and evidence against the opponents on the island, whom he frequently accuses of being mercenaries and paid CIA agents, with the mission of carrying out a "soft coup."
Due to these false accusations, several artists recently presented a formal accusation against López for moral damages caused by their smear campaigns on national television against activists and independent journalists. At the recent Congress of the Cuban Communist Party (PCC), López was elected to its Central Committee.
"We already have the explanation for the resounding promotion of Humberto López to member of the Central Committee of the PCC. It was a resource to equip him against the possible reactions of the citizens to his hate speeches and defamation, including lawsuits. Being one of the representatives of the highest body of the State, is untouchable. When Yeilis Torres went to report him for injuries, they informed her that they are prosecuting her for Attack and they placed a precautionary measure of house arrest on her," activist Salomé García Bacallao said on Facebook.
His hypotheses were supported by the opinion of several users who commented on his publication, debating the immunity that deputies to the National Assembly in Cuba have and wondering if the same legal figure will exist to protect the members of the Central Committee of the PCC.
Torres Cruz is a former Cuban prosecutor and judge whose title was invalidated for eight years after issuing a ruling contrary to a government order in 2009. Frequently harassed by the Cuban regime, Torres Cruz has suffered acts of repudiation in front of her home. One of them, organized by painting the phrase "Patria y Vida" on the wall of his house, went viral on social media recently.
