On Sunday
Cuban authorities rounded up and detained over one hundred
courageous members of the Damas de Blanco as they sought to
peacefully commemorate the loss of life on the tugboat 13 de
Marzo, sunk by the Cuban Government 20 years ago this past
weekend.
We strongly condemn the Cuban Government’s
continued use of this intimidation tactic to silence its
critics and disrupt peaceful assembly.
We urge the
Government of Cuba to end these practices and respect the
universal human rights of the Cuban
people.
