The Cuban activist Diasniurka Salcedo Verdecia reported on her networks that she is currently trying to reach Mexico from Nicaragua in the company of several children that she was able to remove from the island after several months of harassment by State Security.
In a publication ofFacebook which was later deleted by the activist, who while she was on the island dedicated herself to helping people in need, indicated thathad to start a migration process through Nicaragua to avoid going to prison for 8 years and trying to get to Mexico City.
However, she indicated that she feels in danger and did not provide details for the safety of the children accompanying her.
In another post he said that it was difficult for him to ask for financial help; but she was in danger with her children, without giving more details.
On January 13, Salcedo Verdecia left Cuba after several months of harassment by State Security, which fabricated a case of contempt for her for which she was sentenced to eight years in prison.
"I had to leave Cuba, I had to leave most of my children behind, only two options for me: leave Cuba, my homeland, my land, the one I love and for which I have fought head-on for more than 14 years; or go to prison to serve an unjust sentence of 8 years," he said in an emotional post on Facebook.
Salcedo Verdecia did not then indicate the country to which she traveled or the number of children she was able to take with her, but in an image she was shown hugging two of them on the plane.
Since the activist stood with a group of mothers in front of the Ministry of Public Health in Havana at the end of November to demand medical attention for several sick children and denounce the crisis of the health system on the island, State Security has intensified harassment to silence her with the threat of taking away her children.
The activist was brought to trial for this reason on December 13 and visited by a commission of the FMC, the CDR and social workers, who called her a “bad influence” on minors and warned her that they could stop the process to grant her legal custody.
For about four years, the Cuban took in and has under her care five children – orphans, with parents who were imprisoned or who abused them – and was in the process of obtaining their legal custody.
Salcedo made these details of his private life public in the face of intimidation and intimidation by the political police in relation to his family.
