Activists drop leaflets from Pico Cristal calling for freedom for Cuban political prisoners

Dozens of leaflets were dropped this Friday from the roof of the Pico Cristal building in central Holguín. The action demanded the release of all Cuban political prisoners and carried the message into Calixto García Park, described as the city’s main public space. The papers landed there after being released from the building in the heart of the city.

Comandos Libres de Holguín, identified by the initials CLH, were named as responsible for the action together with MADL. The description attributes the initiative to collaboration between the groups but does not detail the specific role each played. No individual activists are named. The central reported event is the release of the leaflets and their demand for freedom for political prisoners.

The leaflets were dropped from the roof of Pico Cristal, a building at the corner of Libertad and Martí streets. Their described path ended over Calixto García Park, a central public space in Holguín. The relationship between those two points—the rooftop and the park—defines the papers’ trajectory and helps specify where the action took place within the city.

The demand called for the release of all Cuban political prisoners. The wording does not limit the request to one person or particular case but presents it broadly. The leaflets served as the physical means for that demand: they were released from a building and landed in the main park at a location described as the heart of Holguín.

The location was emphasized by the papers falling over Calixto García Park and the building’s position at Libertad and Martí. The park is presented as the city’s principal public space, and the rooftop release sought maximum visibility. The action thus combined an explicit political demand with a central location in Holguín and distribution through dozens of leaflets.
