Cuban mother tells Radio Mart�ED her son was detained and beaten during July protests

In the program's public‑comment segment, a caller identified later in the transcript as Laibe Gilkis Jacinto Abad described events during July protest actions in Cuba. She said an islandwide protest on July 11 drew large numbers, that security forces detained hundreds, and that her son, AnEDbal Yasiel Palau Jacinto, 25, was arrested while demonstrating.

"Mi hijo... es un joven de 25 aF1os... el dEDa 12 me arrestan... lo arrestan por manifestarse pacEDficamente," she said on air, and described being unable to locate him for more than 14 hours and being told by officials that he faced charges such as public disorder. She said there were witnesses and videos of his arrest and that family members alleged he was beaten; she also said authorities prevented his lawyer from meeting him in the days after the arrest.

The segment presents the testimony as the caller's account to the program. Radio MartED broadcast the personal allegations but did not, in the transcripted portion, present documentary evidence such as hospital records, official charges or independent verification of the family's claims. The testimony underscores human‑rights concerns raised by listeners and echoes earlier program references to detained protesters and reports of missing persons.
