VOICED: Huelga de hambre en Cuba

Marta Beatriz Roque, a prominent Cuban dissident, is on a hunger strike demanding an end to repression and the release of Jorge Vázquez Chaviano. Despite concerns for her health, Roque remains resolute. The Cuban state-controlled media has not reported on her protest, which is supported by other dissidents. Hunger strikes have become a key method for Cuban dissidents to demand rights, with past strikes resulting in the deaths of Orlando Zapata and Wilman Vilar.
