An attempt to hold nationwide marches Wednesday to demand the Cuban Communist Party reveal the whereabouts and health status of hundreds, if not thousands, of people arrested and disappeared on July 11 prompted heavy police presence and “preemptive” arrests of people suspected to be attending.
Thousands of protesters organized dozens of local marches throughout the island of Cuba on July 11 demanding an end to the communist regime. The earliest reports of protests on that day came from San Antonio de los Baños, a Havana suburb, but spread all the way to Santiago de Cuba on the other side of the island. Holguín and Camagüey, eastern Cuba, documented some of the largest peaceful marches anywhere in the country.
