00:00Look, look, look, look, look.
00:02Go, go.
00:04Black people.
00:06Black people.
00:14The situation is bad.
00:16Don't ask me why, because I'm an idiot.
00:18They beat up innocent children and everything.
00:20They mistreated them.
00:30Please spread all the videos you see, because it's a reality.
00:40It's a reality.
00:42People are starving.
00:44People are dying of COVID.
00:46And the government doesn't want to.
00:48It doesn't want to receive help.
01:01Since 2019, the population has been facing shortages of food, of medicine, of fuel.
01:07And this has only been exacerbated by the impact of COVID-19.
01:11Black people.
01:13Black people.
01:15Black people.
01:17Black people.
01:19Black people.
01:21Black people.
01:23Black people.
01:25Black people.
01:27Black people.
01:29I went out.
01:31Because I'm bored.
01:33I'm starving.
01:35I'm working.
01:37I don't have water.
01:39Here, this is the biggest thing in life.
01:41The shutters.
01:43These shutters.
01:45These shutters make me sick.
01:47I'm short of air.
02:01We need to support the Cubans on the island.
02:03They need it.
02:05Right now, they don't have internet.
02:07Well, a lot of things.
02:09And they try to silence it with that.
02:11By turning off the light.
02:13Turning off the internet.
02:15Imprisoning people.
02:17Shooting.
02:19But nothing will stop the change.
02:37To guarantee human rights, the Cuban government
02:39has been calling for confrontation
02:41and has been opting for repressing those voices.
03:07The government is not helping them.
03:09The hospitals are full.
03:11And the police is just hitting people
03:13and putting fines on people
03:15just to go out.
03:17So that's why we're here,
03:19supporting our people.
03:37There is a tight web of control
03:39over the exercise of freedom of expression.
03:41Being able to take over the streets
03:43and protest like maybe we can see
03:45in other countries.
03:47Unfortunately, it's not as easy
03:49due to several legal measures
03:51that the government
03:53and the authorities have put in place
03:55for decades.
03:57So to see people taking up the streets
03:59in these circumstances
04:01is quite telling of the situation
04:03that the country is in.
04:05This is quite telling of the situation
04:07that the country is going through.
04:31The impact that COVID-19
04:33has had in all countries of Latin America
04:35and the Caribbean can't be denied.
04:37But at the same time,
04:39it is important to mention
04:41that even though
04:43the embargo definitely hinders
04:45or limits the possibility of assistance,
04:47as United Nations
04:49experts have said before,
04:51that cannot be used
04:53to minimize the role
04:55that the Cuban authorities have opted
04:57to take in
04:59facing or
05:01answering in their own
05:03particular way to the demands
05:05of people in Cuba.
05:31Everyone with their eyes on Cuba.
05:33SOS Cuba.
