Cuban opposition group calls for more protests, denounces arrests | Al Jazeera

A Cuban opposition group called on its supporters to continue demonstrating for 10 more days amid accusations that the government is detaining opposition figures and preventing others from leaving their homes.

The group Archipelago on Tuesday said it had planned a protest on Monday but was thwarted after security forces flooded the streets, detained opposition leaders and prevented people from gathering.

Archipelago, an online discussion forum with 35,000 members in Cuba and abroad, said more than 100 activists were detained during “the extreme militarisation of the streets”, according to an AFP report, citing a statement.

Archipelago added that they are calling on protesters to continue their struggle by dressing in white, carrying white roses, creating personal videos and banging pots and pans at night until November 27.
