Habría sido casi imposible sentenciar a #DerekChauvin por el asesinato de #GeorgeFloyd si no existieran esos dolorosos casi 9 minutos filmados por una adolescente estadounidense: #DarnellaFrazier. En este momento, hay una adolescente #cubana, #afrocubana también, cuyo nombre es #AmandaHernández, que está bajo arresto, está detenida, desde el 11 de julio por filmar las protestas que tuvieron lugar en la isla. Ella no participó en las protestas; ella simplemente las documentó y por eso el régimen de @DíazCanelB la ha puesto tras los barrotes de las celdas #cubanas. Su vida también importa. #SOSCuba🆘🇨🇺 #LasVidasNegrasImportan #BlackLivesMatter It would have been almost impossible to convict Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd without those painful almost nine minutes recorded by an American teenager: Darnella Frazier. Right now, there's a #Cuban teenager, also, an #AfroCuban teenager, whose name is Amanda Hernández. She is 17, and she has been under arrest since July 11th for recording the protests that took place in #Cuba. She was not taking part in the protests. It should have been her right. But she wasn't taking part. She was recording and, for that, the Cuban regime threw her behind bars. Her life also matters. https://www.instagram.com/p/CRmcY_LhI_a/?utm_medium=tumblr
