Three Cuban women began protesting in a central park in Holguín on February 27, 2026, between 8:45 PM and 10:15 PM UTC, holding a sign reading 'Freedom for Roland,' according to MagJorgeCastro on X. The demonstration occurred over the 1-hour-29-minute reporting window amid reports of calm U.S.-Cuba tensions following a prior boat incident. The protest was reported as urgent by MagJorgeCastro, who called for additional details from the public. No further information on the identity of Roland or the protesters' identities was provided in the sources during this period. Separately, MagJorgeCastro cited @business on X noting 'calm' prevails between the U.S. and Cuban regime after the boat incident off the Cuban coast, despite maximum tension at the time. The post referenced caution but included no official statements. The Holguín protest follows earlier U.S. President Donald J. Trump's remarks that day criticizing Cuba as a failing nation after a shootout that killed 4 and injured 7, and expressing optimism on change, per prior reports from Sent Defender and the @POTUS account.
