A young Cuban was a victim of police abuse in Ciego de Ávila, where he was beaten by two officers who shouted "I am Fidel."
The violent incident occurred this Sunday in Plaza Camilo, in the Ciego de Ávila municipality, when two police officers yelled at a young black man - who has not been identified - and gave him severe blows when taking him to the patrol car, according to a post by Internet user Efraín Abreu Sánchez.
In several videos that witnesses of the abuse managed to film, one of the officers can be seen shouting and gesticulating at the boy, while shouting "I am a communist."
"You were wrong when you said a bad word to me... Communism... I'm a communist, what the hell is it? You're a comepinga, don't even talk about what you don't have to talk about. I'm a Fidelista, a communist, a revolutionary, what?" What a dick?, one of the uniformed agents can be heard saying as he pushes the young man.
In others, the young man is shown being forcibly taken to the patrol car, where he is laid down on the car to be handcuffed amidst beatings and shouts of "I am Fidel."
The police brutality reached such a point that they threw him to the ground and one of the uniformed officers applied a restraining technique to him and continued hitting him, until he was finally put into the patrol car, kicked by the officers. The boy was not seen resisting arrest in the published images.
So far, the cause of the arrest and the young man's medical condition after the beatings have not been revealed.
