Luis Robles' lawyer asks for his freedom for the fourth time after the Supreme Court recognized that demonstrating is a right

The defenseof the Cuban political prisoner Luis Robles This August 2, he again requested a change of measure so that the young man is released pending trial, after the president of the Cuban Supreme Court defended a few days ago in front of the foreign press that peacefully protesting is not a crime in Cuba. .

"Demonstrating, far from constituting a crime, constitutes a constitutional right. Freedom of opinion, of the press, of belief, even of political and ideological affiliation: that does not constitute a crime," said Judge Rubén Remigio Ferro, president of the Supreme Court on the Island. .

This statement contradicts the imprisonment of Luis Robles, in prison since December 4.He went out to protest on San Rafael Boulevard with a sign, calling for the release of rapper Denis Solís and the end of repression in Cuba.

That act, captured in videos shared on social networks, in which it is clear that his was a peaceful act, earned him accusations of a crime.crime against State Security first and laterof enemy propaganda and resistance.

During these eight months of imprisonment, State Security has stopped asking Luis Robles to work for them to threaten him to the point that he, in an audio to which he had accessCyberCuba, He blamed the political police of the Communist Party of Cuba for anything that happens to him in the Combinado del Este prison.

Robles remains imprisoned awaiting a trial that was scheduled for July 16, but was suspended after the massive protests on July 11 in forty towns and cities throughout Cuba.

In eight months of imprisonment for exercising his citizen's right to demonstrate, Luis Robles has been held incommunicado more than once.In April of this year, the inmates of the Combinado del Este themselves reported that they had not seen him for a long time, not even remotely.

And that was no exception. In statements toCyberCuba, the family of Luis Robles indicated this Tuesday thatThey haven't received any calls from you since July 4, hence they have claimed faith of life on social networks.

The fourth request for a change of measurement

The request for a change of measure (he is in provisional detention awaiting trial)It is the fourth that his lawyer presents. Last month he submitted another one that was denied. It was based onstatements by Miguel Díaz-Canel ensuring that peaceful protests are not repressed in Cuba. However, it was denied.

Now they are waiting for confirmation whether or not they accept this second request.

Luis Robles has become a symbol of peaceful protests in Cuba. In a video published by his family recently and which was recorded by the activist before his detection, Robles himself acknowledges his conviction that if you protest on the Island "they will ruin your life."

He took to the streets to demonstrate, convinced that "communism is a destroyer of people."
