A Cuban who arrived in Havana on a flight from the United States this Saturday and was supposed to continue traveling to the province of Holguín is missing, according to sources from his family.
Ernesto Pavel Riverón has been missing since the night before, when he arrived at José Martí International Airport in the Cuban capital, from where he was supposed to travel to Holguín. However, his family has not received any further news about him, reported Liutanay La Rusa in the Facebook group "Revolico Holguín".
“Excuse my boldness, but I urgently need to post this photo: this person has been missing since yesterday when they arrived at Havana airport on a flight and nothing has been heard from them since, they were supposed to leave for Holguín and are not showing any signs, their family, especially their daughter, are worried about him,” explained the woman, who identified herself as the mother of Riverón's daughter.
In the comments on the post, Liutanay clarified that the man traveled to Havana from the United States and that he had not been in touch since his last call before taking the flight.
"He hasn't called since he left for Havana and arrived at the airport, but that's all we know," he revealed.
The woman, a resident of Holguín, also explained that they had contacted the airport from the eastern province, where they confirmed Riverón's arrival, but assured them that "they don't know anything else."
"I live in Holguín with her daughter," she responded to those who suggested she go to the airport terminal. "It's difficult for me; her family is from here, and we're doing everything we can, but from here... I wish I had help in Havana."
Liutanay asked the group members to share the post in the capital and provided the phone number 54536857 for anyone to contact her if they see something or know anything about him.
As of the time this note was published, no further information about the case has surfaced.
In the absence of an official channel to facilitate the search for missing persons in Cuba, families are turning to social media to raise awareness of the cases and gather information that may help them locate their loved ones.
