Apostle Alain Toledano Valiente is a prominent leader in the Apostolic Movement in Cuba. He also leads Emanuel Church in Santiago de Cuba along with his wife, Maril\u00edn Alayo Correa<\/a>. Pastor Toledano and his wife have experienced intense harassment at the hands of the Cuban authorities for over two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 2016, over 200 church leaders in Pastor Toledano\u2019s denomination were detained as the authorities demolished<\/a> the Emanuel Church building. Pastor Toledano was out of the country at the time. Since then he has been prevented from leaving<\/a> Cuba, subjected to repeated police summons<\/a>, and threatened with imprisonment<\/a> on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent months, Pastor Toledano and his family have continued to experience severe harassment, even in spite of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related lockdown measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
