Cuba’s communist rulers and state-controlled media are alleging that anti-government protests that swept across the island on Sunday were “organised and financed” from the United States, and egged on by a “perverse” and co-ordinated communications campaign on social media.
One man has died in Cuba and more than 140 have been arrested or reported as missing during rare demonstrations against its Communist government.
Diubis Laurencio Tejeda, 36, died in a suburb of Havana on Monday during a clash between protesters and police.
Cuba’s interior ministry did not say what the cause of death was but alleged he was part of a group that attacked a government facility.
However, witnesses said security forces had attacked the protesters.
