A Colombian visiting Cuba, who identifies himself as @jhon_correa_coach on TikTok, commented in a video on the social media platform that he had been robbed twice during his stay in the country. He also showed how he was followed on the streets of Havana, describing the environment as hostile and dangerous.
“Yesterday they robbed us on the street and yesterday they followed us for several blocks,” he said.
“I'm in Havana. Every time you go out, people follow you, asking for money. There's a man following us there, look at him, the one in white. That guy follows us wherever we go,” she added, while filming the alleged stalker from the sidewalk across the street.
The Colombian visitor commented that his stay in the Cuban capital had not been pleasant at all. "We've been robbed twice since we arrived here, I swear. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I wouldn't come back here, not even if I was crazy," he said, disappointed.
