A Cuban man has reported the eviction of his elderly grandmother from her home in Bayamo, Granma, criticizing the complete inaction of the National Revolutionary Police (PNR) who refused to accept his complaint. In the Facebook group Revolico in Havana, user Ali Sami posted two messages within hours detailing the ordeal of Libia Sablon Aguilera, who is 83 years old and suffering from a hip fracture.
Sami explains that a police officer, along with two women allegedly working in housing, used his uniform to create a fake property document for the home. Due to the eviction, his grandmother suffered a stroke. Though he did not provide details about why he went to Santiago de Cuba, the young man noted that the PNR in that province also refused his complaint and "allows its officials and workers to engage in such vile acts."
"I have every right to complain," he stated, adding, "There are no rights, no laws."
In May, a young Cuban couple, along with their three sick children, reported living in dire conditions without receiving any government aid, and representatives of the regime threatened to evict them from their home. "In this country, they claim to help mothers and children, but it's a lie. No one receives help here," the mother said in a video shared by user Café con chícharos (@DiazVismar38292) on the social network X.
The father of the three children—at least two of whom are very young, as seen in the post—indicated that they were sleeping on mattresses on the floor due to their critical situation. Although the video and the post did not provide details about the family's location, they did highlight the severe conditions affecting the children.
