The trials for the protests of July 11, 2021, in Cuba have taken place amid a climate of tension and controversy. These demonstrations, which spread across the country, were called by Cuban citizens demanding political and economic changes on the island.
Cuban authorities have undertaken a series of mass arrests in relation to the protests, and many of the demonstrators have been subjected to summary trials. The charges against them include offenses such as public disorder, contempt of authority, and spreading contagious diseases.
International human rights organizations have reported that these trials do not meet justice standards and that the detainees have not received due legal process. It has also been pointed out that Cuban authorities have used repression to intimidate citizens who participated in the protests.
