Man confirmed killed in anti-government unrest

One man has died during rare anti-government demonstrations in Cuba that have shaken the island in recent days.
Diubis Laurencio Tejeda, 36, died in a suburb of Havana on Monday during a clash between protesters and police.
According to the interior ministry, he was part of a group that attacked a government facility. It says some demonstrators were arrested.
But witnesses say the security forces attacked people who had taken to the streets to protest.
The rare nationwide anti-government demonstrations began on Sunday, when thousands began protesting over food and medicine shortages, price hikes and the government’s handling of the Covid-19 epidemic. Such unauthorised public gatherings are illegal in Cuba.
President Miguel Díaz-Canel has called the demonstrators “counter-revolutionaries”.
His government has sought to blame the United States, and its economic sanctions, for both the protests and Cuba’s wider problems.
As yet there is no official explanation for how Diubis Laurencio Tejeda died.
State media said he had been involved in “disturbances” in the La Guinera neighbourhood of Havana on Monday, where a group allegedly attacked a government facility. It reported that several others had been injured, including members of the security forces.
In a statement on Tuesday, the interior ministry accused demonstrators of vandalism, setting fires and attacking the police as well as civilians.
But witnesses have said the security forces attacked peaceful protesters who joined a spontaneous demonstration in the neighbourhood.
Waldo Herrera, who lives in the area, told Reuters news agency officers had drawn their guns and started shooting at the demonstrators.
“I think the Communists have lost control, they won’t have a solution to this situation,” he said.
