14 year old mentally retarded boy remains in prison in Cuba. Regime prevented for 22 days the minor detained after 11J to have his medicine and is beaten by Castro's repressors.

For 22 days the Cuban regime denied access to his psychiatric medication to the minor Christopher Llenoart Santana, detained after the protests that broke out on July 11.

"Yesterday, after 22 days, Naika Santana was finally able to bring her 14-year-old son (...) the haloperidol medication that he must take systematically for his psychiatric disorder and which he has not consumed since his arrest on July 17," confirmed journalist Ivette Leyva Martínez.

What is your opinion regarding the events that are happening in Cuba? 

Cuba and foreign interference. On the occasion of the massive popular protests in Cuba last July 11, several claims arose on the island and in exile seeking support or participation of foreign actors in the solution of the Cuban problem.

Historically, revolutions and struggles against non-democratic regimes have sought and obtained some kind of foreign support or action. Let us begin with the Castro "revolution" itself, which obtained an important donation of arms from the government of José Figueres of Costa Rica. In the declassified Kremlin archives there is information that it was the Soviet Union that actually made the contribution by taking out US weapons that were stored in Czechoslovakia and had them delivered to Costa Rica in a chartered cargo ship. Fidel Castro called those weapons "the salvation" of the guerrillas in the Sierra Maestra. 

Cuba in victorious transit towards a new day. MIAMI, U.S.A. - Once again, hopes that we can finally achieve Cuba's long-awaited freedom have been renewed. The events of massive disobedience that began last July 11 seem to indicate so. If the resistance is maintained; if the defiance to the scarecrow of Díaz-Canel, improvised president, not of Cuba but of the servants of Castroism, gradually increases, the communist dictatorship will fall resoundingly. Although they still viciously beat, imprison and murder until they become a machinery of terror, which has paralyzing effects on some Cubans, little by little courage is gaining ground and thousands of young people are taking to the streets, not to beg for crumbs of peaceful survival, nor crumbs of bread, but to demand an end to tyranny.
