State Security verbally summoned Landy Fernández, brother of Cuban political prisoner Luis Robles, this Wednesday.

The informal summons is for you to appearthis Thursday, at 10:00 am, at the Alamar Police Station, in Eastern Havana.

Luis Robles had already warned his brother that State Security had threatened him at the Combinado del Este with also putting him in prison.and this is what he told Landy in an audio to which he had accessCyberCuba this week.

Luis Robles' lawyer has told the young man's brother,imprisoned for protesting with a sign calling for an end to repression in Cuba, that he is not obliged to attend the interrogation prepared by State Security because there is no official summons.

So, in principle, the agents of the Political Police of the Communist Party of Cuba will have to go look for Luis Robles' brother in a patrol, just as they have done on many other occasions with activists such as Maykel Osorbo and Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara .

With the exception that Landy Fernández has not participated or made statements against the Cuban Government, which would mean that the retaliation they take against him is another form of punishment for Luis Robles who,Since this Tuesday he has been locked up in a punishment cell at the Combinado. It's the fifth time in eight months that isolate him from the rest of the prisoners.

It must be remembered that Luis Robles' lawyerThis August 2, he presented the fourth request for a change of measure with the intention of ensuring that the young man, 28 years old, who is defecating blood and has hypertension problems, awaits his trial in freedom and not in preventive detention.

The request has been made based on the statements of the president of the Supreme Court of Cuba, Rubén Remigio Ferro, who in statements to the foreign press accredited in Havana said that demonstrating is not a crime in Cuba but a constitutional right.

Luis Robles has become a symbol of the peaceful struggle in Cuba, after he protested alone on December 4 on San Rafael Boulevard. Since then he has not set foot on the street again,despite the fact that the ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel assured that those who demonstrate peacefully are not repressed on the island.

At first, State Securitytried to get Robles, father of Lión Marcos, a minor child, to work for them.The same offer has been madethe political police of the PCC to the Gato de Cuba. By refusing, the situation in prison has become increasingly complicated for Robles and the punishments are continually repeated.

Only this month of July, Luis Robles remained without communicating with his family between July 4 and 29. This weekend, he spoke with his family and confirmed that he had spent 15 days in a punishment cell because they found a photo of him from the international campaign calling for his immediate release.

Now they are trying to pressure him by summoning his brother Landy Fernández to the Alamar Police Station.
