The renowned radio host Yunior Morales has publicly denounced that the Cuban government has prohibited the broadcast of his recordings across all media outlets on the island. This is yet another repressive measure by the regime to bury in oblivion those who criticize its brutal dictatorship.
Morales, who left his native country and settled in the United States after being censored in late 2020 due to his critical stance, revealed through his Facebook account that he learned a few months ago about the order to erase his voice from the media. "Eliminate all recordings of the radio host Yunior Morales," the broadcaster disclosed, before recounting that at the Cienfuegos-based station Radio Ciudad del Mar, the "Methodological Group" met with workers to state that not a single recording of his should remain, a directive that extended to Canal Perlavisión.
He also mentioned that in the audio library of the aforementioned station, there was a list of restricted and banned artists. "Some names: Celia Cruz, Willy Chirino, Gloria Estefan, and many others who have ample reason to feel proud of not being part of a dictatorship." "Facing so many greats who were exiled in various ways, I feel small, but equally dignified and brave," he added in his post.
Morales also expressed his happiness for all he has achieved: "Being a radio host was a personal fulfillment that will never be above my human values. I started at 23 years old, I was evaluated, I had a lot of content; I can only imagine how much they had to scrutinize in various stations and TV channels to erase me."
The activist continuously reiterates his desire for freedom for all political prisoners and an end to the suffering of mothers and families on the island, with the hope of seeing a free Cuba for the benefit of all its children.
