The Cuban activist Anamely Ramos reported this Tuesday on the transfer of the rapper and political prisoner Maykel Castillo “Osorbo” to the Kilo 8 prison in Pinar del Río, where, according to what they informed her, they intend to prosecute him on charges that have not yet been communicated to his family or loved ones.
Through the social network Facebook, Ramos alerted that the musician, a member of the Movimiento San Isidro and one of the creators of the song Patria y Vida, is in a state of resistance against the repression he has suffered since he was young.
"He's ready to die, and it's not a recent feeling. Maykel prefers death to going back there," he wrote on his social media, holding the regime responsible for what might happen.
The activist also sent a direct message to the State Security and to those who, as she stated, are launching campaigns against the artist. She pointed out that every time media attacks against Osorbo intensify, the regime escalates reprisals against him.
Anamely Ramos, based in the United States, is very close to Maykel Osorbo and has been instrumental in raising awareness about his situation, demanding transparency and direct communication to confirm his health status. Additionally, she has warned that updates regarding Osorbo and other political prisoners in Cuba will continue.
Castillo was arrested in May 2021 and has since been detained hundreds of kilometers from his home. According to his close ones, the regime aims to break him physically and emotionally with such measures.
The artist is a co-author of the song Patria y Vida, considered an anthem of protest in Cuba. His imprisonment has been condemned by international organizations and human rights defenders who recognize him as a prisoner of conscience.
