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 occurred in several cities across the country: Santiago de Cuba, Bayamo, and Cardenas 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 an important event that drew the world's attention. Cuban citizens took to the streets to express their dissatisfaction 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 scarcity 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 provoked international condemnation. In addition, the government shut down access to the internet and social media, making it difficult to disseminate information about the situation on the island.
