Introduction, translation and note edited by Caterina Camastra ---- Boris M. Díaz
is a Cuban comrade, member of the Taller Libertario Alfredo López and of the ABRAsocial center and library. On the first anniversary of the protests that shookCuba on 11 July 2021, Boris was among the victims of the police siege andintimidation operation deployed by the Cuban dictatorship. It is worth mentioningthat Boris suffers from muscle wasting and lives in a wheelchair, whichhighlights the utter squalid cowardice of a fascist state whose sole purpose isnow to perpetuate itself in power. We report here the complaint released by Borison social networks on July 17, 2022: ---- "On July 11, my home, the ABRA SocialCenter, was placed under surveillance. Two agents from the State SecurityDepartment and the almost personalized visit from Joel, also known publicly asJordan, which I treated in the most normal way possible (even if he is a bullyingcop, I refuse to dehumanize him a priori). I will not deny that he was kind, evencordial, which I paid back as a good host by inviting him to sit down for acoffee that he never accepted. I suppose he was pointing out his presence to me,like any movie gangster does to their victim. He gave a certain speech of honor,born from my observation that he practiced judo, which he acknowledged byclaiming to be a black belt. He also stressed that he had never abused anyone(which was denied by multiple testimonies, including a video), so I couldn't helpbut smile and ask him if he really wanted to start a friendship with a lie. Inall of this, my intention was to make the following points clear:1 - The Department of State Security is guilty of the political crisis that thecountry is experiencing due to the repressive actions implemented by theDepartment itself against all forms of resistance.2 - If he had continued to persecute people dear to me, I would have taken it asan indirect attack.Joel / Jordan's persecution of Leo * has reached the level of public defamationin his neighborhood, with the aim of depriving him of community solidarity andmaking him vulnerable to attacks that may not be fortuitous and which, beingcommitted by those who wear a uniform , constitute a crime. That's what happenedtoday[July 17th]. I hold the Security Department responsible for any damage doneto Leo[Leonardo was hit by an apparently drunk stranger with an iron rod]or toany other dex miex amicx. I hold Joel / Jordan responsible. I do not demandpunishments, I pursue the dissemination of the facts so that this cowardly courseof action cannot continue.#AbbasolaTirannia# Long live Anarchy#RendiamfamosoJoelJordan "* Leonardo Romero Negrín, one of the victims of the 2021 repression that had moreinternational resonance, including an open letter signed by personalities fromthe world of culture such as Noam Chomsky and Étienne Balibar. Even before "11J",on April 30, he had been arrested and fined for showing in public a sign saying"Socialism yes, repression no". On 11 July he was arrested again, beaten, andpublished a testimony on the abuses of police power he experienced and which hewitnessed.
