This resolution commends the courage and resolve of Cuban citizens who, five years ago, protested against the Communist Cuban regime, demanding fundamental rights to life, dignity, and freedom. These historic pro-democracy demonstrations saw thousands take to the streets across Cuba to call for an end to communism, censorship, and oppression. The resolution details the Cuban dictatorship's brutal response, which included a wave of terror, repression, and criminalization , leading to the detention and persecution of over 1,400 protesters, including women and children. The regime also cut internet connectivity to silence dissent and hide its oppressive crackdown from the world. It highlights the ongoing imprisonment of hundreds of Cuban human rights and democracy activists, who have faced months of solitary confinement, physical and psychological torture, and inhumane treatment, often without adequate medical care. Many protesters, including minors, remain in prison, some disappeared, following mass sham trials that impose disproportionate sentences for ill-defined charges, all while the country's economic situation deteriorates under the regime's failed policies. Finally, the resolution calls for the international community to stand in solidarity with the Cuban people, condemn human rights atrocities, and demand freedom and democracy. It urges coordinated sanctions and diplomatic pressure to hold the Cuban regime accountable, and encourages the U.S. administration to maintain strong sanctions and support Cuban civil society.
