"Ktivo Dissident is the brave man who protested this morning on San Rafael Boulevard demanding freedom for political prisoners and participation of all Cubans in the political life of the country. At this time nothing is known about him. In the video we saw how a State Security agent dressed in civilian clothes orders those who were recording to turn off their cell phones and to “get on the patrol car” to anyone who “gets annoying,” González explained.
"Kativo did not commit any crime. He exercised his legitimate right to demonstrate. Where is Ktivo?" he asked on Facebook.

"It is time for you to realize that you have a tremendous lack of respect, people of Cuba, with yourselves. How long are you going to allow this gang of scoundrels, abusers, thieves, how long are you going to allow them thanks. I only make a call that you have to put a stop to the situation you have," he stated on that occasion.

I am going to be the 1,125," while he was heard and filmed by a group of people.
"That has to stop, it has to stop and we, with civil society, have to stop it. There has to be no violence. There has to be no bloodshed, but they have to let us participate in the political life of the country. The "Whoever is a communist is, but whoever is not must be respected," said the opponent from a wall next to a playground on the aforementioned Boulevard, in a demonstration that reminded us of the case of the Cuban Luis Robles Elizástegui, imprisoned in that same area for raising a sign against repression.
