Protests against dictatorship in Cuba, leaders consider provocation by the US: They have hired mercenaries

Protests against dictatorship in Cuba, leaders consider provocation by the US:

Thousands of Cubans have staged massive protests against the island's communist government. They marched on cities, including the capital Havana, shouting: "Down with dictatorship! ".

Police responded with pepper spray and violence. Cubans are outraged by the economic downturn, restrictions on civil liberties and the way the pandemic has been handled. Record numbers of infections have been recorded in recent days.

Protesters demand a faster vaccination program against Covid-19, reports the BBC . Last year, Cuba's economy shrank by 11%, its deepest decline in almost three decades, as a result of the pandemic and US sanctions imposed by the Trump administration.

Thousands of pro-government supporters also took to the streets after the president appeared on television to urge them to defend the revolution - referring to the 1959 uprising which marked the beginning of communist rule.

President Miguel Díaz-Canel said the protests were a provocation by US-hired mercenaries to destabilize the country and promised a "revolutionary response".

Senior US diplomat for Latin America Julie Chung wrote on TWitter: "We are very concerned about the ' calls to fight' in Cuba."

"We stand for the right of the Cuban people to peaceful assembly. We call for calm and condemn all violence," she added.
