(Miami, FL) -- Protests and calls for change continue in Cuba as well as here in the U.S. Demonstrators shut down a South Florida expressway for several hours yesterday in solidarity with those 90 miles away in Cuba. And in another instance, three men fare facing charges of battery on an officer and resisting arrest after an altercation during a free Cuba rally in Tampa. Meanwhile on the island itself, at least one person is dead amid the anti-government protests that erupted over the weekend. More than a hundred people are in custody or missing. The protests against the nation's Communist government are the largest seen in decades, sparked by an ailing economy, lack of food and medicine, the COVID-19 pandemic and U.S. sanctions. Cuba's president has called for pro-government supporters to also take to the streets and physically confront the protestors.
