A Cuban opposition member is hospitalized in a psychiatric facility after protesting the lack of medications in Pinar del Río.

The activist shouted: “Down with communism. Down with Díaz-Canel. Down with repression,” something that the regime does not accept under any circumstances.


In yet another demonstration of the prevailing human rights violations in Cuba, the regime again interned independent journalist Omar Suárez Campo in the Isidro de Armas psychiatric hospital in Pinar del Río after his protest over the lack of medications.

In a video posted on the social network Facebook by ADN Cuba, Suárez can be heard shouting: “Down with communism. Down with Díaz-Canel. Down with repression,” something the Cuban government does not accept in any way.

Internet user Julio César Góngora used his account on X to condemn the actions of the regime, which with total impunity incarcerates and attempts to silence those who fight for the truth, human rights, and the true freedom of their land.

For his part, the user Marcel Valdés also reported that the journalist "was brutally arrested inside his house where -his family confirms- he was beaten."

In fact, according to the aforementioned source, it is not the first time that State Security (SE) has confined him to a psychiatric facility.

The communicator and activist reported last June that he had been imprisoned for four days, although on that occasion it was for raising his voice about the water shortage in the most western province of the island.

On that occasion, he reported that he was given high doses of parkisonil (Trihexyphenidyl) and haloperidol: “Drugs, they give me treatments that stun my brain, my thoughts, my psyche, so I leave there dazed. Additionally, I received the threat that I was going to be transferred to Villa Marista in Havana and also to the Mazorra psychiatric hospital,” according to the Cuban Institute for Freedom of Expression and the Press.

Days before that arrest, repressive officers from the SE arrived at the home of Omar Suárez Campos and harassed and threatened him for the posters he had put up in his house demanding the service of the vital liquid.
