The family of Daniel Cuesta Velázquez has issued an urgent plea for assistance in locating the young man, who has been missing in Havana since Sunday. Daniel was last seen leaving his home to report to a military unit for his mandatory service.
His father, Elieser Cuesta, turned to social media in desperation to spread the word about Daniel's disappearance, which occurred two days ago. Daniel resides in the Las Brisas neighborhood of the Cotorro municipality and is supposed to be serving in a military unit located in El Cacahual, between Managua and Santiago de las Vegas, as mentioned by his father in multiple Facebook posts.
According to Elieser, Daniel was expected to be present at the military unit. However, as of Tuesday, he was informed that Daniel had not arrived. "I was told today that he has not shown up since Monday when he was supposed to be there," Elieser stated.
Elieser has shared a contact number (52869165) for anyone who may have information regarding his son's whereabouts. The alert about Daniel's disappearance has been echoed by other social media profiles, reflecting growing concern over the lack of news.
In recent months, there have been multiple reports of missing young recruits from the Active Military Service, which is a mandatory duty for males in Cuba starting at the age of 17.
