The Cuban political prisoner Lizandra Góngora, sentenced to 14 years for the protests of July 11, managed to meet with her children in prison after three and a half months.
The prisoner had been transferred to a jail in the Isle of Youth, a measure that is considered a "cruel and ruthless tactic of the Castro regime in retaliation for her political opposition," her brother, Ariel Góngora, denounced.
The young woman, mother of five children, had also reported the situation through the Cuban Observatory of Human Rights, as last year she spent several months without seeing her children due to a transfer to a remote area.
"I am very sad because I haven't seen my children for four months since they moved me to this prison on the Isle of Youth, 160 kilometers from my home," Góngora reported last year.
Góngora was arrested for her participation in the protests on July 11, 2021, in Güira de Melena.
Mother of five children, Góngora has been a victim of forced disappearance and mistreatment in prison.
She was accused of sabotage, robbery with force, and public disorder in connection with the disturbances of July 11, along with independent journalist Jorge Bello Domínguez, who was also sentenced to 15 years in prison.
