CubaBrief: Remembering Cuba’s prisoners of conscience on the International Day of Political Prisoners #SetThemFree cubacenter.org/cuba-brief/20… 1/

Thank you @FreedomHouse for your solidarity with the over 1,350 Cuban political prisoners currently unjustly imprisoned by the Castro dictatorship.
Cuba has 1,350+ political prisoners today, more than 140 more than in January despite repeated regime announcements of prisoner releases early this year.
Repression is rising, not receding. Freedom House calls for the immediate release of all political prisoners. #FreeThemAll

Thought Cuban diplomats attacking a U.S. diplomat earlier this week was unusual? Watch another Cuban diplomat attack and bite a young Norwegian Cuban girl in Oslo.

Interesante 👇 realidad que NO se puede Olvidar y que debería tener consecuencias, la Cuba de Castro es un Narco Estado, que practica TERRORISMO y entrenan a Terroristas globales. Gracias @realDonaldTrump @SecRubio @AGToddBlanche Por frenarlos.

It was such a wonderful evening at the @NED to be one of those honored by the October 30th Coalition for our work to free political prisoners over our careers. It was made all the more special to be with my former clients Felix @Maradiaga (#Nicaragua) (and his wife @BertaValle who introduced me), @Jschamorrog (Nicaragua) (and his wife @VickyCardenasL), @liliantintori and @antonietamlopez (#Venezuela) (@leopoldolopez's wife and mother), and @yangjianli001 (#China).
These are some excerpts of my remarks:
"It is a tremendous honor to be recognized ... but this has never been about me. It has always been about the #PoliticalPrisoners and their families, the most effective advocates for themselves and for their people ..."
"It has been the honor of a lifetime, with my stellar team, to stand in solidarity with, support, and be inspired by the #humanrights heroes of our time."
"It brings me such joy to be here tonight with my former clients and their spouses. Each showed courage, grace, and dignity under unimaginable pressure. I risked only defeat; they risked their lives and they persevered. They will forever be my sisters and brothers ..."
"Every win is a collective win. No one can say what finally opens a cell door: a UN judgment, a president’s phone call or tweet, a diplomat’s quiet word, or even the prisoner themselves. And as for me, I have simply tried to do my part ..."
"So I leave you with a strong sense of optimism. In every generation, in every country where people face repression, there are those who risk everything to speak truth to power, to demand justice and accountability, and to inspire others to join the fight."

In #Cuba, political imprisonment goes far beyond prison walls. It reaches into classrooms, workplaces, homes and the minds of millions forced into silence by fear.
On International Day of Political Prisoners, my op-ed explores why every Cuban lives in a prison without walls.

La activista Anamely Ramos habla del impacto de la prisión de un familiar sobre niñas y niños.
Cubalex sostiene en su informe que el apoyo humanitario es una vía esencial para mitigar los daños de este castigo colectivo y proteger a los hogares afectados por la represión política.

📢COMUNICADO | Cubalex expresa preocupación tras la publicación en la Gaceta Oficial de la Ley 171 de Migración, la Ley 172 de Ciudadanía y la Ley 173 de Extranjería.
Las nuevas normas fortalecen el control del Estado sobre la ciudadanía cubana dentro y fuera de la isla. 🧵⬇️

In a video Ambassador Mike Waltz posted online October 27, 2026, Tur de la Concepción is seen smacking the cellphone recording him and saying, “he violated my personal space.” 5/
Castro’s communist dictatorship in Cuba not only sponsors terrorism, but engages in it, and diplomats have been caught not only meeting with terrorists, but plotting terror attacks. cubacenter.org/cuba-brief/20… 6/

Today's meaningful program was filled with hope, positivity, and community.
Led by @ekaramurza, @bertavalle, @liliantintori, and other remarkable advocates. Thank you for building connections between former political prisoners, the families of current political prisoners, and frontline defenders.
@VMehrannia had the opportunity to share her story as the leading voice for her husband, Ahmedreza Djalali.
