Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. (text: CR S3746)
This resolution commends Cuban pro-democracy protesters who demonstrated five years ago against the Communist regime and demands international support for their cause. The resolution references the July 2021 protests in which thousands of Cubans took to the streets across more than 40 cities calling for freedom and civil liberties, and condemns the regime's violent response that included detaining and persecuting over 1,400 protesters. It highlights ongoing human rights abuses including torture, solitary confinement, and disproportionate prison sentences imposed on democracy activists, as well as the deteriorating economic conditions facing ordinary Cubans. The resolution calls for the immediate release of all political prisoners, urges international sanctions and diplomatic pressure against the Cuban government, and supports the Trump administration's strengthened embargo policy and human rights review. As a Senate resolution, this measure expresses the body's sentiment and position but does not create binding law or require funding.
