A Cuban resident in Spain denounced on his Facebook profile that the Party leadership in the ICRT is pressuring his friends who work there to stop following him on social networks or they will be permanently expelled.
Carlos Ferrera, who emigrated in 1993, is the author of the blogSejanus's barracks, currently censored on the Island. He revealed that in recent months four people have been threatened with losing their jobs in the aforementioned cultural organization if they continue the virtual relationship with him.
“He just informed me by email with great sadness, before removing himself from my friends list. (…) To the rest of my friends who work there and are still on my list, let this serve as a warning and act accordingly. Don't be embarrassed if you have to leave, it's not worth losing your job to be here. “I understand the situation perfectly,” he stressed.
In statements toCyberCuba, Ferrera added that his blog is the reason why they don't let him enter Cuba either. The last time he was able to do so was in 2008. Then, when his mother became ill, “they made me do all the passport paperwork to finally deny me the visa.”
An architect by profession, he said that his other friends were called out several times by their bosses at their jobs until they decided to cut all ties.
“This has been happening for months. I suppose that with this new regulation, they will accentuate control,” he said, referring to the recent entry into force ofregulations for electronic surveillance of people and entities in the country, without authorization from a judge.
