Havana/Melisa Odaisi Peraza Cabrera, 24 years old and missing since May 14, is part of a group of 19 Cuban rafters lost on the high seas. The feminist organization Yo Sí Te Creo in Cuba asked the authorities for help this Sunday after the young woman informed her family of her situation.
Peraza Cabrera, a resident of Cárdenas (Matanzas), was last seen in mid-May, when she left her house to meet with a man she had met through her social networks. The young woman has three minor children, two girls, each four years and four months old, and a two-year-old boy.
Her family heard from her on May 27, after several attempts to contact her, thanks to an acquaintance who saw her on Ayestarán Street, in Havana.
Her family heard from her on May 27, after several attempts to contact her, thanks to an acquaintance who saw her on Ayestarán Street, in Havana, walking with two men. At that time, they notified the authorities, as well as feminist organizations, who feared that she was being a victim of some type of violence.
To locate her, they provided a photo, as well as the complete description of the young woman, and asked anyone who could see her to contact two phone numbers of relatives or, directly, the Police.
Hours later, the feminist organization Yo Sí Te Creo in Cuba reported that Peraza Cabrera had called her family to tell them that she was leaving the island with a group made up of six women and 12 men who were somewhere on the coast of Artemisa or Mayabeque.
“Neither she nor anyone in the group could send the geolocation because they barely have coverage or battery. They have little water left. And we have lost contact since 3:12 pm in Cuba. We ask the authorities to mobilize without delay to find them,” he warned. the association in a Facebook post that urged sharing.
