On December 26, 2014, the street and performance artist Danilo Maldonado Machado, known as “El Sexto,” was arrested in Cuba and charged with contempt while walking two pigs, named Fidel and Raúl, to Havana’s Central Park for a performance titled “Rebelión en la Granja” (Animal Farm). El Sexto was held in Havana’s Valle Grande Prison since that time without formal charges. The Voice Project initiated the “Free El Sexto” campaign, one of the longest running and most vocal advocacy efforts for Danilo’s release from arbitrary detention. On October 20, 2015, El Sexto was freed without explanation by Cuban authorities after spending ten months in prison.
