The Cuban Institute for Freedom of Expression and Press (ICLEP) denounced that a Cuban, mentally ill, suffers abandonment by the government in Sancti Spíritus.
"A person with mental retardation remains living in the taxi area of the Camilo Cienfuegos Provincial Hospital. This man from Sancti Spiritus, whose age ranges between 35 to 45 years, remains in total abandonment, eating what other people offer him and sleeping on a hard bench of concrete," ICLEP said on Facebook.
In the midst of the current crisis, reports of cases of abandonment by the State of vulnerable people have increased. This situation is not only reported in the mentally ill, it also occurs in the elderly, but the regime removes responsibility for the matter and blames the families for the abandonment.
At the time of writing this note, no further information is known about the Cuban who suffers abandonment by the government in Sancti Spíritus, nor details of his mental health status.
The amount ofpeople begging on the streets of Cuba grows every day. Heartbreaking images are frequently seen of elderly people feeding on scraps of food they find in garbage dumps.
Even recently, a harsh denunciation of abandonment was published in Ciego de Ávila, where a Cuban had been sleeping for days on a mountain of garbage, without the authorities assisting him.
In a context marked by inflation, shortages and the increase in extreme poverty, the Cuban government forgets about the most vulnerable people, because it claims to not have the resources to care for them.
