The spokesperson of the Cuban regime, Humberto Lopez, presented self-incrimination videos of some of the Nuevitas protesters who remain arrested and charged with various crimes against State Security.

This Friday, the state television presenter showed four young people who participated in the protests that broke out at the end of August in that city of Camagüey in the program Reasons for Cuba, designed to counter the voices of civil society that denounce the totalitarian regime and call for change.

In the classic format of self-incriminating videos used by the repressive machinery of the totalitarian regime, several of the protesters allegedly testified to the instructions received to “incite violence, manipulate groups of people and articulate situations of internal destabilization.”

Among the people who “agreed” to offer testimony, López exhibited Mayelín Rodríguez Prado -known in networks as Chamaca del Chamaco-, the young woman who transmitted the testimony of some girls who were physically attacked by the police during the repression of protests.

“Due to my intense activity on Facebook, a profile called Sin Trugua A la Dictadura contacted me. This, receiving orders from Amijail Sanchez, known on social networks as Alfredo González [edited]…”, Rodríguez Prado begins by saying in his incriminating video.

In addition to the young woman, State Security offered the alleged confessions of Lazaro Garcia Rios, Jimmy Johnson Agosto and Yennys Artola del Sol, three young people who said they had been contacted by Cubans abroad who told them what type of actions they should commit to destabilize the regime.

“I was given guidance” to search in networks for people willing to engage in armed struggle, said García Ríos, pointing to Cuban exiles who would be at the head of the organization called Self-Defense Forces of the People (ADP), led by Manuel Milanes, Willy Gonzalez and Alfredo Gonzalez, which would even have a so-called “War Council.”

August, for his part, started watching videos of Ultrack in which he said that the police had to be killed, the cars broken. “Nothing to talk to those people, kill them. And all that influenced me, I got carried away,” he said. As he described, the protests in Nuevitas were not peaceful, but “violent, attacking the police.”

“When Alfredo contacts me, he tells me that he is the leader of the 'lone wolf' pack on the island. "These people are dedicated to carrying out violent actions against the government, throwing Molotov cocktails and painting posters," said Rodríguez Prado.

The alleged existence of a network of “lone wolves” in Cuba (terrorists who act alone, without the support of a network), is part of the regime's strategy to discredit and defame activists on the island, or acts of protest. of citizens, and thereby manage to manipulate public opinion, hammering home the idea of “external aggression.”

Artola del Sol “confessed” that La Chamaca had proposed to him “to write a poster in the noodle factory. My thing was to film the poster and then send it to him. When I returned he asked me to film and take photos of another poster.” A supposed destabilizing mission worthy of a “lone wolf.”

“I made a video and sent it to him. He told me that he was already part of the 'lone wolf' pack. He gave me more instructions, he told me to locate government buildings to carry out violent actions,” Rodríguez Prado said.

Finally, the young woman “acknowledged” that the direct where she shared The testimony of the attacked girls was “a lie”. “The girls had no injuries and no one had attacked them,” said the young mother, who was arrested shortly after her arrest, taken to the State Security offices in Camagüey and subjected to interrogations while remained incommunicado.

As she said in the video, "since I have been in this place I have not received bad care, I am in good health, no one has been burning my tattoos, I have not been beaten, I have received visits from my girls, from my grandmother, from lawyers , phone calls".

“I urge the youth and people of Cuba not to be guided by these people who are abroad so that the same thing as me does not happen to them, it is not worth it,” the young woman concluded by saying before the cameras of her repressors.

Reasons for Cuba, with the notorious white-collar repressor at the helm, stated that the people who used these young people were planning landings, violent actions, and carrying the “torch of freedom” throughout Cuba.

“The defendants agreed to testify publicly and voluntarily to prevent other people from engaging in conduct of this nature,” the program noted at the end of the block of self-incriminations.

Known by the Cuban people for more than half a century, the little theater of “self-incriminations” is one of the most hateful, harmful and criminal practices of manipulating and instilling terror among the population, so that Cubans do not raise their voices or “ engage in conduct of this nature.”

“Alfredo gave me instructions to use my daughter in a direct fight, to pinch her to make her cry,” said Rodríguez Prado, spearhead of an alleged strategy to destabilize the dictatorship through “pinches” and the penultimate victim of a regime. totalitarian capable of using the public media to sow hatred, fear and division among Cuban civil society.
