Quick Summary
Cubans took to the streets in the city of Moron on Saturday to protest worsening economic conditions since the US oil blockade. The island, known for harsh government repression, rarely sees protests.
Authorities said five people were arrested in what it called vandalism acts. The NGO Justicia11, which monitors Cuban demonstrations, said gunfire was heard in the area and one person may have been shot. Story by Gabrielle Nadler.
