Descemer Bueno (left) and El Funky (right) posed before the media showing a T-shirt that says “Free Maykel”, or “Freedom for Mykel”.

This is Mykel Osorbo, interpreter of “Patria y vida”, who has been in preventive detention in Cuba since May, according to the NGO Frredom House.

In August, the NGO Freedom House assured that Castillo “has been in preventive prison since May 18, after being falsely accused of aggression, resistance, evasion of prisoners and detainees, contempt, public disorder and spread of epidemic.

His arrest took place after 14 days of forced disappearance, according to what was communicated by the UN Committee on Forced Disappearances ”.

The Cuban government has not officially recognized the activist's arrest.

Under Maykel's photo you can see the hashtag #MSI, alluding to “Movimiento San Isidro”, an artistic opposition coalition on the island.

Another who sent a message to the Cuban people was Yotuel, who wore the Cuban flag on a cape.

He was accompanied by Beatriz Luengo, his wife, co-author of “Patria y vida”.
