Dozens of people shout "Cuba for Christ" on the streets of Santiago de Cuba

The Christians closed their initiative at the International Bible Center with dances and songs.


Dozens of people walked through the city of Santiago de Cuba on Tuesday shouting "Cuba for Christ," according to videos circulating on social media.

The materials, posted on Facebook by the user Miguel Vaillant Garlobo, show more than two hundred Christians of all ages walking peacefully through several streets of the city.

At the end of the initiative, they returned to their temple at the International Bible Center, where they closed the activity with music and dances.

Last year, religious members of the Cuban Protestant Church took to the streets of Havana at night shouting "Cuba for Christ."

Pastor Guillermo León, from the Methodist Church, was one of the participants in that emotional initiative.

In October, the government of the United States requested the release of Reverend Lorenzo Rosales Fajardo, a Protestant pastor of the Church of Mount Zion in Palma Soriano, imprisoned for his participation in the protests of July 11th.

He is serving a seven-year prison sentence for the alleged crimes of assault, incitement to commit crimes, and disobedience.

On June 3rd, a young Christian man demonstrated on a central avenue in Santiago de Cuba, holding a sign in his hands that read: "Freedom, Cuba for Christ."

This event took place on one of the busiest streets in the eastern city. Their peaceful protest recalled the case of the political prisoner Luis Robles Elizástigui, who was sentenced to five years in prison in 2021 for demonstrating with a sign on San Rafael boulevard in Havana.
