island, people are hurting, and many of the people who took to the streets said they were simply not afraid anymore. they had nothing left to lose in front of cuban police officers. they criticized their government. they called for a change, but so far at least those calls have fallen on deaf ears because we saw several arrests, people being taken away violently by the police. we saw the government sending in their own counterprotesters that said they supported the revolution, they tried to drown out the antigovernment protesters and cuba s president, the successor to the castros said that the supporters of the revolution needed to take to the streets, needed to defend the revolution, and that he was giving them an order to flood the streets to defend their government. so far at least, despite these calls for change, unprecedented calls for change, the cuban government does not appear to be giving an inch. patrick oppmann, cnn havana.
