Protests in Cuba

The protests in Cuba have sparked a debate about the situation in the country and the need for political and economic changes. International human rights organizations have denounced the repression and have urged the Cuban government to respect the rights of citizens and allow freedom of expression.

On March 17, 2024, a series of protests occurred in several cities in the country: Santiago de Cuba, Bayamo and Cardenas among others. The reasons are the same as previous protests such as those in July 2021.

The protests in Cuba in July 2021 were a major event that captured the world's attention. Cuban citizens took to the streets to express their discontent with the economic and political situation in the country, demanding changes and reforms.

The protests, which took place in several cities in Cuba, were driven by food and medicine shortages, a lack of political freedoms, and the increase in COVID-19 cases on the island. The protesters chanted slogans such as "freedom" and "down with the dictatorship."

Cuban authorities responded with mass arrests and repression of protests, prompting international condemnation. In addition, the government closed access to the internet and social networks, which made it difficult to disseminate information about the situation on the island.
