Protests in Cuba have sparked a debate about the country's situation and the need for political and economic changes. International human rights organizations have condemned the repression and urged the Cuban government to respect the rights of its citizens and allow freedom of expression.
On March 17, 2024, a series of protests took place in various cities across the country, including Santiago de Cuba, Bayamo, and Cardenas, among others. The reasons for these protests were the same as those in previous demonstrations, such as those in July 2021.
The protests in Cuba in July 2021 were a significant event that drew global attention. Cuban citizens took to the streets to express their dissatisfaction with the country's economic and political situation, demanding change and reform.
The protests, which took place in several cities in Cuba, were sparked by the shortage of food and medicine, the lack of political freedoms, and the rise in COVID-19 cases on the island. The demonstrators chanted slogans such as "freedom" and "down with the dictatorship."
Cuban authorities responded with mass arrests and the repression of protests, which drew international condemnation. Additionally, the government restricted access to the internet and social media, making it difficult to disseminate information about the situation on the island.
