TV Martí Obtains Video of Chaviano Arrest in Cuba
In a video obtained by TV Martí, Jorge Vazquez Chaviano, a Cuban dissident who is under house arrest, is taken into custody by Cuban authorities. Chaviano violates his house arrest by stepping outside and yelling “down with terrorism, down with the Castros, long live liberty and democracy.” During one week in January Chaviano was arrested 5 times.
According to the dissident community on the island, retaliation and repression have increased recently as the Cuban government has stepped up arrests and violence.
The Office of Cuba Broadcasting has encouraged Cuban dissidents and others to share videos and photographs that document the government’s efforts to stifle their voices.
