A resolution commending the courage, bravery, and resolve of the fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters of Cuba, who, 4 years ago, stood in the face of brutal harassment, beatings, and torture to protest against the Communist Cuban regime, demanding access to their fundamental rights to life, dignity, and freedom.

This Senate resolution commemorates the fourth anniversary of the historic July 11, 2021, pro-democracy demonstrations in Cuba, commending the courage and resolve of thousands of Cubans who protested against the Communist regime. It highlights the regime's brutal response, including the detention and persecution of over 1,400 protestors, internet shutdowns, and widespread repression aimed at silencing dissent. The resolution details the ongoing human rights abuses, such as the imprisonment of hundreds of activists, including minors, who face solitary confinement, physical and psychological torture, and denial of medical care. It condemns the regime's use of sham trials and disproportionate sentences to intimidate its citizens, while the country's economic situation continues to deteriorate under failed policies, leading to severe shortages of basic necessities. The Senate resolves to condemn the continued repression and calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners. It urges the international community to stand in solidarity with the Cuban people, speak out against the regime's human rights violations, and implement coordinated sanctions and diplomatic pressure. Furthermore, it calls upon the U.S. administration to maintain strong sanctions on the Cuban regime until conditions for democracy and human rights are met, and encourages continued support for Cuban civil society organizations and independent media.
