The 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 citizens' rights and allow freedom of expression.
On March 17, 2024, a series of protests took place in several cities across the country: Santiago de Cuba, Bayamo, and Cárdenas, among others. The reasons were the same as those for previous protests, such as those 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 discontent with the country's economic and political situation, demanding changes and reforms.
The protests, which took place in several cities in Cuba, were driven 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 detentions and the repression of protests, which prompted international condemnation. Furthermore, the government shut down access to the internet and social media, hindering the dissemination of information about the situation on the island.
