HAVANA – One man has died during rare anti-government demonstrations in Cuba that have shaken the island in recent days.

Diubis Laurencio Tejeda, 36, died in a suburb of this city on Monday during a clash between protesters and police.

According to the interior ministry, he was part of a group that attacked a government facility. It said some demonstrators were arrested.

However, witnesses said that security forces attacked people who had taken to the streets to protest.

The rare nationwide anti-government demonstrations began on Sunday, when thousands began protesting over food and medicine shortages, price hikes and the government’s handling of the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic.(BBC)
