Cuban protests against drug sales in his neighborhood in Havana: "A 'chemical' costs less than a soda."

The Cuban activist Alberto Turís Betancourt Pérez went out this Wednesday to protest against drug sales in his neighborhood, Jesús María, in Old Havana.

Without fear of reprisals, Alberto took to the streets with a sign in each hand, shouting that in his block: Gloria, between Carmen and Rastro, drugs such as chemical, crack, and heroin are sold.

"No one cares, the complicity of the regime is evident, the police do not act, the mothers are tired of having their things stolen, the people are dying, and no one cares," he said.

Alberto Turis pointed out that his life may be at risk because he is no longer just speaking out against the regime, but against all the crime that sells drugs without any kind of punishment.

"Impunely they are destroying youth in Cuba. A 'chemical' is worth less than a soda. They get high every day, they live for that, enough already," he emphasized.

The video of the protest was shared on the Facebook profile of the user Generosidad Cristiano Jerusalén, where the activist urged people to make it viral.

"The drug is destroying my neighborhood, my block," he denounced.

"I don't care if they call me a snitch 10 times; those who are more of a snitch are the ones who, with their silence, allow young children to die and people to be robbed and murdered in the neighborhood of Jesús María," he added.
