The mother of Yoslaydis Remedios Armenteros, a 38-year-old Cuban woman who has been missing in Matanzas since September 2025, implicitly confirmed her daughter’s death on Facebook through a heartbreaking message.

Yoslaydis disappeared on September 18, 2025, around 6:20 PM in the town of Máximo Gómez, Perico municipality, Matanzas, where she lived at 271 Aranguren Street.

Since that moment, he no longer communicated with his family, which was particularly alarming because, according to his mother, Tamara Caridad Armenteros, they had daily contact several times a day.

Yoslaydis had particular signs that hindered her mobility: she suffered from a cerebral ischemia that caused paralysis on the right side of her body, she had a surgical scar on her right hand, and a keloid from a burn on her left hand. On the day of her disappearance, she was wearing green shorts and a black top.

Tamara posted the following message yesterday: "I never thought life would punish me with so much pain. A pain that takes away your will to live, that dims your smile, that robs you of sleep. It is an immense pain that gradually consumes you."

He added: "You have no idea how difficult it is to try to get up without the will to live, to stand without having any strength, and to pretend that you are okay when in reality you are broken and without the desire to live."

The activist Irma Lidia Broek on Facebook also detailed that "after months of an intense search that involved the entire community since her disappearance (...) today her unfortunate passing is confirmed."

The confirmation of the death arrives approximately seven months after the disappearance, without any official communication from the Cuban authorities.

For months, Tamara publicly denounced the inaction of the regime. She made efforts in Havana before the Department of Citizen Attention and the Central Committee of the Communist Party without receiving concrete responses.

"The police do not give me any information, it feels like they haven't been working from the very beginning," she reported.
