Since the mass peaceful protests that rocked the communist dictatorship in July 2021 and the subsequent arrests and convictions, the number of political prisoners in Cuba, which includes minors, has been steadily increasing. Oppression and imprisonment is the only answer the Castro regime has to the growing discontent on the island caused by its corruption, mismanagement and brutality.
Prisoners Defenders raises the number of political prisoners in Cuba to 1,113
The NGO Prisoners Defenders (PD) reported on Thursday that the number of political prisoners in Cuba reached 1,113 after the addition of 19 new prisoners in May this year.
According to the organization’s latest report, only five political prisoners were released last month, “after fully serving the imposed sentence or measure.” Additionally, Lisdani Rodríguez Isaac, from Villa Clara, was released on a one-year parole due to pregnancy complications.
