Demonstrations broke out nationwide in Cuba on Sunday in a rare protest against the government.
On Wednesday AFP news agency journalists reported that Cuban authorities had restored access to the internet after three days of disruption. Some messaging and social media platforms reportedly remained blocked on 3G and 4G however, including Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter.
Mobile internet was only introduced in Cuba in the last few years and allowed people to organise and spread word of the recent demonstrations. Andrea Lopez, a resident of the capital Havana, told Reuters news agency she has not been able to get online for days, unable to speak to her husband in Mexico.
"On the first days they cut the calls, they cut everything," she said. "All of this is how [the government] want it."Thousands took to the streets in protest over the government's handling of coronavirus and the economyArrests seem to have continued in the country in recent days. Cuban YouTuber Dina Stars was conducting an interview for a Spanish broadcaster on Tuesday when she told the channel that security forces had come to take her away.
And Reuters obtained footage from Tuesday which it said was of a young man in the southeastern town of Gibara being arrested.
