On the occassion of Human Rights Day this Saturday, December 10th, I am once again demanding the immediate release of the numerous political detainees currently in Cuba stemming from the demonstrations on July 11, 2021. Despite feeling the effects of being held down, the activists courageously exercised their fundamental rights, such as the right to vocalize their thoughts and come together peacefully. The United States supports the Cuban people in their fight to gain further freedom and to have a voice in the decisions being made about Cuba’s future. We will press for the freedom of all who were incarcerated during this savage repression, and will persistently pursue those Cuban authorities responsible for assaulting peaceful protests.
