Abel Prieto cartoon targeting Anna Bensi draws criticism online
The post prompted criticism of the former minister and revived online debate about the treatment of the Cuban activist.
Publication of a cartoon targeting Anna Bensi prompted criticism of Abel Prieto on social media. Some users questioned the image’s tone and called on authorities to respond to criticism without personal attacks.
The episode followed Mike Hammer’s October 6 visit to the Alamar home of Bensi and her mother. During the meeting, a group gathered outside the residence and shouted slogans against the U.S. representative.
The coverage also mentions a photograph posted days later by Francisco Rodríguez Cruz, known as Paquito de Cuba, in which he wore a wig resembling the activist’s hair. The image added to the controversy and mockery directed at Bensi.
