Roberto, a Cuban-born graphic designer, has lived in Belarus for 30 years and has a family and children. He was detained on November 8, 2020, before the start of a protest against violence and the results of the presidential elections in Minsk and received 15 days of administrative arrest.
However, after serving his sentence, he was not released - the man was held in a temporary detention facility for more than a year, after which they tried to deport him to Cuba via Moscow. However, in Russia, he did not board a plane and managed to evacuate to Lithuania.
