"The independent journalist and activist Ángel Cuza Alfonso was arrested this Thursday [April 30] by agents of the Cuban State Security while he was with his young daughter at the corner of his house, according to a report shared on Facebook by activist Keilylli De La Mora Valle.
[...]
Cuza, a collaborator of the independent outlet CubaNet, has one of the most documented records of repression among Cuban journalists. The regime released him on May 3, 2025 after serving a sentence of one year and six months for 'public disorder,' imposed by the People's Municipal Court of Centro Havana in November 2023.
[...]
The detention on Thursday is part of a systematic pattern of the regime to carry out preventive arrests on the eve of politically sensitive dates. The Cuban regime intensified its repressive practices in the weeks leading up to May 1, while simultaneously launching a political loyalty signature campaign aimed at demonstrating 'mass support for the Revolution' ahead of the official parades."
