Mother Recounts Ordeal, Sheds Light on Cuba's Unreported Violence

Havana, Cuba - May 27, 2025. A disturbing account has emerged from Yanisy Curbelo, a Cuban resident, detailing her recent detention and release alongside her 16-year-old son, Jesus. Curbelo describes being taken to an undisclosed location without explanation. "They just took us, didn't tell us anything," she recounts in her video testimony. Curbelo's story is particularly poignant given its proximity to a violent incident in Parque Santos Suarez, where, according to Curbelo, a 14-year-old boy was threatened with a knife and another individual was killed. While official sources have yet to comment on these incidents, Curbelo's testimony provides a compelling glimpse into the escalating tensions and potential human rights violations in the region. The lack of transparency surrounding the events only serves to amplify the concerns raised by Curbelo's account. Independent verification of these claims is currently underway.
