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 denounced the repression and urged the Cuban government to respect citizens' rights and allow freedom of expression.
On March 17, 2024, a series of protests took place in several cities across the country, including Santiago de Cuba, Bayamo, and Cardenas, among others. The reasons for these protests were the same as those for the previous demonstrations in July 2021.
The protests in Cuba in July 2021 were a significant event that captured the world's attention. Cuban citizens took to the streets to express their dissatisfaction with the country's economic and political situation, demanding change and reforms.
The protests, which took place in several cities across Cuba, were driven by shortages of food and medicine, a lack of political freedoms, and a 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 detentions and the repression of protests, which led to international condemnation. Additionally, the government shut down internet access and social media, making it difficult to disseminate information about the situation on the island.
