A Look at Life in Cuba

Gabriela Sequeira Hernandez, 17, holds her mother's hand during an interview in Havana, Cuba, August 10, 2021. Hundreds of people remain detained in Communist-run Cuba a month after unprecedented anti-government protests, according to rights groups. The 17-year-old, one of several minors detained in the protests, said she was sentenced to house arrest for eight months after being arrested while walking home from the hairdressers on July 11. Upon her admission to jail, where she was kept 10 days incommunicado, she said she was required to put a finger in her vagina to show she was concealing nothing as part of a strip search. Officers kept interrupting her attempts to sleep and one officer made sexual taunts, she said in an interview. The Cuban government initially said no minors had been detained, a statement later contradicted by state prosecutors. (Photo by Alexandre Meneghini/Reuters)
