#Trump has boasted about the killing of 32 Cuban security personnel who died at the hands of #US forces during the Jan. 3 abduction of Venezuelan President Maduro. Trump called the Cubans “thugs and extortionists” who held #Venezuela hostage for many years.

Yunio Estévez, one of those killed in the US attack, was neither a thug nor an extortionist. He was a 32-year-old cryptographer who has left behind a wife and three children. BotB journalist Liz Oliva interviewed a close friend of Yunio.

Meanwhile, last week in Havana, thousands of Cubans joined in mourning alongside the families of those killed in #Venezuela. And many more took to the streets to denounce US aggression in a massive pro-government march to the US Embassy.
