Have the Cuba protests already been quashed? HotAir

Yesterday, one of the biggest news stories making the rounds involved the sudden emergence of widespread protests in Cuba. They were being described as pro-democracy demonstrations calling for the end of the dictatorship that currently controls the country under President Miguel Díaz-Canel. People were taking to the streets in more than two dozen cities and numerous smaller towns. But as of this morning, things suddenly appear a lot more subdued in Cuba. There are still some sporadic reports of protesters showing up, but the activity appears to be significantly muted compared to Sunday and Monday. So is the uprising really over that quickly? It might be, or at least close to it because the Díaz-Canel regime has already begun cracking down on the protesters, while still attempting to blame the unrest on the United States.
