Today Angel Yunier Remón, a young Cuban rapper known as ‘El Critico,’ sits in a Cuban prison on the verge of death due to his courageous 18+ day hunger strike in which he demands freedom and democracy, not just for himself, but also for his fellow countrymen and women of #Cuba
Angel was first arrested in March when he tried to stand up to an organized mob sent by the Cuban Government to harass Angel and his family and to vandalize his home. Like other Cuban dissidents, Angel was targeted for openly criticizing his government's oppression and brutal human rights record in his lyrics. Angel has said that he intends to maintain his hunger strike to shed light on the unjust nature of his imprisonment and to demand his freedom. We ask that the international community stand up in solidarity with Angel and demand that his oppressors #FreeElCritico Now!
