En Español: YouTuber Dina Stars released after being accused of “promoting protests” in Cuba
“They took me for instigation to commit a crime, for promoting demonstration campaigns. They did not torture me. I am on the side of the truth. I am sincere with you. Thanks to everyone who cared about me, ”says Dina Stars. On Tuesday, the young woman, with thousands of followers on social networks, had an interview with channel Cuatro. "State security is out there," Stars told Marta Flinch, the host of
Todo es lie
. Stars had to stop the conversation. One of her companions takes the laptop to try to record the encounter between the young woman and the police. "Live I hold the government responsible for anything that may happen to me," he said before cutting off communication from Havana.
The
youtuber
had said in previous interviews that she was tired of keeping quiet, but that she was afraid of what could happen to her and especially her family. More than a hundred people who demonstrated against the Diaz-Canel Executive since last July 11 have been arrested in recent days. The Cuban government reported the death of one of the protesters on Tuesday.
Three days after the protests in Cuba, the information blackout continues due to the cut off of the internet and mobile data, which were key in the call for the demonstrations.
On Wednesday it was still almost impossible to access social networks from the phone, which fueled confusion about the news of possible incidents in some towns and on the streets of Havana.
“Please don't keep spreading fake news.
I will tell you everything.
They didn't do anything wrong to me, ”asked Dina Stars.
