The interview with

Canal Cuatro

de España was

just beginning

when the

youtuber

began to make signs that something was happening.

“Dina, do you want to say something?” Asked Marta Flinch, host of the program

Todo es lie

.

"Security is out there," she replied.

The

influencer

, who was broadcasting live from his home in Havana, had to stop the conversation. Someone takes the computer instead and takes it into a room. "We can't record now," he says. The presenter asks her to record the encounter with the police and she focuses the camera of the device. The conversation is inaudible, but Dina Stars is seen at the door talking to someone on the other side. Then he returns to the live broadcast and says that he has to go to the agents, and that he holds the island's government responsible if something happens to him.

"Are they going to arrest you?" Asks the presenter.

"I don't know, they told me to accompany them," she says before saying goodbye and closing the computer.

The

influencer

had said in previous interviews that she was tired of keeping quiet, but that she was afraid of what could happen, mainly to her family.

More than a hundred people who demonstrated against the Diaz-Canel Executive have been arrested in recent days.
