Hey, hola. Nanfu: When meeting
other activists, they'd all remove
their phone batteries to avoid surveillance. (Salsa music plays on speakers) Even in her own home,
she would turn on loud music to drown out
their conversations. (speaking Spanish) Nanfu: But one of her
planned actions had to happen
on a crowded street. She went to a public
WiFi hotspot, which was the only way
regular Cubans could access the internet. (horns honking) Rosa wanted to livestream
on Facebook calling for the release
of her friend Danilo and other political prisoners. (Rosa speaking Spanish) Nanfu:
I was surprised to learn that unlike in China,
Cuba allowed access to many foreign websites,
like Facebook. (speaking Spanish) Nanfu: But that depended
on getting an internet connection
in the first place. (Rosa speaking Spanish)
