In a subsequent publication on the activist's profile it is read: “In Cuba there are no human rights or humans with rights. Hunger, repression, injustice, and the infinite pain that accompanies us will be summoned to the streets. Reality is speaking, no one listens to it, enough of so much evil. Freedom for my son Walnier and all political prisoners. The truth is imprisoned in the saddest country in the world. Liberaaaaaad.”

“This is how I woke up today on the day of Human Rights, where there are none here and they are violated, where the word freedom makes them tremble and they take strategies like these, where the truth is very annoying because they did not commit any crime and despite the confinement, the torture on your part has continued since day one. They lack medical supplies, the food is terrible, the abuse towards them and even towards their family. Enough of so much abuse. A thousand times justice and freedom for my husband Maikel Puig Bergolla. Down with the dictatorship,” denounced the mother of two children, who has kept her voice loud for the freedom of her husband and other political prisoners.
