A student at Josué País School in Santiago de Cuba has reportedly been threatened for sending an image depicting the deplorable condition of the blackboard in her classroom. Journalist Yosmany Mayeta, who made the image of the deteriorated blackboard viral, thereby debunking the regime's claims of being fully prepared for the school year, explained on Facebook this Thursday that a family member informed him the young woman will be presented to the school’s administration, where they will issue a “warning notice” as if she had committed a crime.

However, Mayeta clarified that the image in question, along with many others showing the dire conditions in schools in Santiago de Cuba, was actually taken by a teacher, not the student. “The complaints about the issues faced in the city's schools have come from the teachers, who are tired of working under terrible conditions,” he emphasized.

The case, which has raised concerns among the student’s family, could result in an unjust punishment, a typical reaction from the regime to hide the harsh reality faced by the Cuban people. “I will be closely monitoring this case and what might happen this Friday, against an innocent student in Santiago de Cuba,” Mayeta highlighted.

The journalist shared the image on Facebook this Wednesday, accompanying it with the message: "Achievements of a revolutionary education in Cuba," he mocked. The photograph went viral on social media as several profiles and news outlets shared the image, exposing the regime's repetitive lies about starting the school year with all necessary conditions in place.
