Cuba's political prisoners

Cuba has a history of detaining individuals who oppose the government or express dissent. Political prisoners are those incarcerated for their beliefs, activism, or criticism of the Cuban regime. The government often targets dissidents, human rights advocates, and journalists, viewing them as threats to its authority. International organizations frequently call for their release, citing violations of human rights. While the Cuban government asserts these individuals break the law, critics argue their only crime is seeking political freedom and reform. The issue remains a significant point of concern for advocates of democracy and human rights globally.
