Activists from the Cuban-Canadian community are concerned about more bloodshed following widespread protests that erupted in Cuba on July 11, but they remain hopeful as Cubans continue to call for freedom and democracy.
Nelson Taylor Sol, activist and board member of the Cuban Canadian Foundation, said he has “mixed emotions” about the protests in multiple cities across the communist-ruled Caribbean country, where thousands took to the streets to call for an end to the decades-old repressive regime against the backdrop of a deteriorating economy.
