The family of Andy García Lorenzo, a young Cuban who was The prosecution asks him for seven years in prison for participating in the protests On July 11, he suffered an act of repudiation in front of his house.
Roxana García Lorenzo, the young man's sister, shared on her Facebook wall a video of the rally held this Monday on her street, in Santa Clara.
"The repudiation has already begun, they are pitiful. What shame the relatives of these people should be feeling, they still do not agree. State Security is around the house," denounced Roxana.
Around 40 people, some with signs, arrived at the scene and began shouting slogans and calling Roxana, her husband, and her parents worms.
In response to the rally, Andy's family confronted them and without fear began to shout "We want freedom", to the rhythm of a conga, in open mockery of the defenders of the Castro regime.
The family even played the song "We want freedom", by Jacob Forever, in response to the offenses that came from the street.
"Join police, for freedom," the four sang, showing nonchalance.
The reaction left the repressors completely confused and silent, not knowing what to do.
"Are you out of breakfast?" shouted the inhabitants of the house, where you can see a huge cloth with the phrase 'Freedom for Andy'.
"We will continue screaming and let them come for us," said Roxana.
The lackluster rally didn't even last half an hour, and no neighbors on the block participated. Those who went to disown Andy's family spent more time silently doing nothing than shouting.
On Sunday the Santa Clara entrepreneur Pedro Osvaldo López, Roxana's father-in-law, suffered another act of repudiation in front of his home by a rapid response group of the regime. Since then the police have kept surveillance of the house.
López went out to the porch of his house in the José Martí neighborhood of Santa Clara to applaud and shout "Freedom for political prisoners," as part of the call for 15N, when he and his family suffered the attack of supporters of the Cuban government.
Andy García Lorenzo, a 23-year-old young man arrested in the 11J protests, announced in October a hunger strike with other protesters in La Pendiente prison, in Santa Clara, to protest mistreatment and the violation of their rights.
"I stand up for the release of political prisoners and for my freedom. There are many sick people who are not cared for," the young man declared in a phone call with his relatives from prison.
