Cuba unrest turns deadly

One person died in anti-government protests across Cuba, according to officials, with activists saying at least 100 were arrested.

The country is enduring its worst economic crisis in 30 years just as it records a spike in coronavirus infections.

A 36-year-old man died during a protest on the outskirts of Havana on Monday, the interior ministry said.

Demonstrators across Cuba chanted "Down with the dictatorship" before being dispersed on Sunday, but about 100 protesters gathered again in Havana Monday evening.

Relatives and friends of those detained desperately searched for news on their whereabouts.

Cuba's foreign minister Bruno Rodriguez denied there had been a "social outbreak."
