#Cuba Leonardo Romero Negrin was arrested today in Havana while protesting with a blank slate. Activists have denounced that he is being held in the Dragones station and was beaten by state security forces. Cuban authorities must respect peaceful protest and immediately release Leo.

Today we march in #CDMX for all those who cannot, for the dead without justice, for those unjustly imprisoned, for a more just and equal future 💜
