Journalist Carlos Herrera Rodríguez shared striking images on social media this Thursday that reflect the profound disrespect towards loved ones in the Colón Cemetery in Havana.
"They cut down the trees and threw them on top of the graves," Herrera said while sharing on Facebook the sad images that highlight the neglect that prevails in that cemetery.
"If there is no respect for the living, what respect can there be for the dead!" noted the journalist.
The photographs show that, due to the brownish tone of the leaves, the cutting must have occurred several days ago, indicating that the problem is not recent and has been neglected for some time.
This is not the first time images of the state of neglect prevailing in Havana's most important necropolis have circulated on social media.
Recently, Facebook user Beatriz Alonso revealed the deplorable condition of the Pantheon of Catalina Lasa and Juan Pedro Baró in the Colón Cemetery, Havana.
The shared images depict the devastation caused by neglect and vandalism, which have severely impacted this iconic mausoleum. The situation has reached such a critical point that, according to Alonso, “the remains of Catalina and Juan Pedro were transferred to the Pantheon of the Emigrants.”
At the beginning of the year, a Cuban documented the existence of a trench full of human bones, exposed to the elements, in Colón Cemetery.
The user Tazmania Cubano shared a photo on the social network X, showing the unpleasant discovery he recently made while visiting the largest cemetery in Cuba.
