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