Commending the courage, bravery, and resolve of the fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters of Cuba, who, 3 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.

Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. (text: CR S4269-4270)
This Senate resolution commemorates Cuban pro-democracy protesters who demonstrated three years ago, on July 11, 2021, against the Communist Cuban government and calls international attention to the regime's violent crackdown. The resolution specifically highlights the case of José Daniel Ferrer García, a human rights activist arrested during those protests who the resolution says has been tortured and held in solitary confinement, along with over 1,400 other detained protesters including children. The Senate condemns what it describes as the Cuban regime's brutal repression, calls for the immediate release of all political prisoners, and demands that the international community support Cuban pro-democracy activists. The resolution also urges the Biden administration to strengthen economic sanctions against Cuba and end what it characterizes as unilateral concessions that reward the regime. This is a non-binding resolution expressing the Senate's position rather than creating new law or allocating funds.
