Cuba Uses Forced ‘Confessions,’ Club-Wielding Communists to Subdue Protests
Cuban citizens carried out a new round of peaceful protests against the communist Castro regime throughout the weekend, once again demanding freedom and protesting against the blackouts and inhumane conditions that the Castro regime continues to subject them to.
Cuba’s decades-long humanitarian crisis has worsened following the regime’s mismanagement of the emergency situation following the passage of Hurricane Ian.
On Saturday, dozens of Cuban citizens gathered outside the regime’s Municipal Assembly headquarters in Jagüey Grande, Matanzas province, to bang pots and pans and demand electricity in the face of another mandatory evening blackout.
Cuban online newspaper 14 y Medio reported that the Castro regime temporarily restored power in the area during the protest. According to one of the protesters, the temporary restoration of electrical power was done to better identify protesters.
“That’s to see people’s faces,” said one of the protesters, as a group continued to chant “Freedom!”
According to Radio Televisión Martí, the Castro regime suppressed the protests using paramilitaries dressed in civilian clothes and armed with wooden clubs. At least four dozen protesters were detained, many of which were beaten and prosecuted in retaliation.

On Sunday, the largest registered protest occurred in the towns of Santa Cruz del Sur, located in eastern Camagüey province, and Bejucal, Mayabeque, close to Havana. In each of these two towns, peaceful protesters took the streets to demand power be restored and call for an end of the Castro regime.

Alongside the calls for freedom and and end to communism, some of the chants espoused by the protesters were: “Put the electricity on, goddamn it;” the now common “Díaz-Canel singao,” which roughly translates to “asshole Díaz-Canel,” a reference to the regime’s puppet president Miguel Díaz-Canel; and “abajo los barrigas llenas de allá arriba”: “Down with the full-bellies up there,” the “full-bellies” being Communist Party leaders.
Cuban artist Saúl Manuel published a video on his Facebook account showing a resident of Santa Cruz del Sur who participated in Sunday’s protest shouting, “That is enough! The children are without food!”
