The protests in Cuba have sparked a debate about the country's situation and the necessity for political and economic changes. International human rights organizations have denounced 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 several cities across the country: Santiago de Cuba, Bayamo, and Cárdenas among others. The reasons were the same as in previous protests, such as those in July 2021.
The protests in Cuba in July 2021 were a significant event that attracted global 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 across 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. 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.
