Havana – The Cuban artist Tania Bruguera was released after being detained for six hours on Tuesday at a police station in Havana, an arrest that the activist also described as “kidnapping” and after which he called for an end to “political violence” in Cuba.
“What happened to me today was a kidnapping,” Bruguera said in a live broadcast on Facebook in which he also warned that he will continue “doing what he deems necessary to stop political abuse in Cuba, that violence policy in Cuba and that the right to rights be respected. “
The artist narrated that she was intercepted by state security agents when she was walking down the street to do some errands, forced to get into a vehicle with a private license plate and driven to a police station where she was interrogated: “they talked and they spoke out wanting to create division, fear and mistrust among the people we are working with today to make things change, ”he said.
Bruguera denounced “the system that the Government of Cuba is using to scare people that we are doing what we believe should be done” and said that what happened to her today and worse things “happen to many Cubans who lose their fear “.
“What happened today is not isolated, it is an exercise in mediocre, absurd power that corresponds to the twentieth century, not the twenty-first. Things have changed, Cuba is not the same and you must change too.” he stated in reference to the island government.
Bruguera, known for her interpretations of political overtones and for having participated in events at the Tate Modern in London and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, has been arrested in Cuba on numerous occasions.
It is also part of the 27N Movement, articulated after on November 27 last year more than 300 figures in the cultural field and supporters gathered peacefully before the Ministry of Culture to demand freedom of expression and creation, as well as the cessation of police harassment of creators critical of the Government.
Artists, activists and independent journalists have denounced in recent months an increase in repression that includes police surveillance, acts of repudiation, arbitrary detention and house arrest without having committed any crime.
The Cuban government, meanwhile, accuses these people of being “counterrevolutionaries” in the service of the United States and has launched an intense campaign of discredit against them in the state press.
