DEMANDING Plainclothes police detain an anti-government protester during a protest in Havana, Cuba on July 12, 2021. Cuba's president said the demonstrations were stirred up on social media by Cuban Americans in the United States. Sunday's protests marked some of the biggest displays of anti-government sentiment in the tightly controlled country in years. "We've seen how the campaign against Cuba was growing on social media in the past few weeks," Díaz-Canel said in a nationally televised appearance in which his entire Cabinet was also present. In a statement on Monday, US President Joe Biden said Cuban protesters were asserting their basic rights.
