We (@cubacenter, @VoCommunism & others) made an appeal to world civic, religious and political leaders to help peaceful Cuban dissidents and oppose Cuban government violence targeting them. cubacenter.org/articles-and-e… #15NCuba #15NCubaLibre 1/6

We made specific asks to the international community among them are:

Establish a global arms embargo on Cuba.

Suspend economic and military cooperation agreements with the Cuban dictatorship, such as the EU-Cuba cooperation agreement. cubacenter.org/articles-and-e… 2/6

Apply Magnitsky Sanctions to regime repressors.

Support civil society in Cuba and the implementation of reforms that respect international human rights norms.

Carry out a public diplomacy campaign on the internal blockade officials impose on Cubans.

We also called on Catholic bishops round the world to:

Issue statements backing their Cuban counterpart's call for a national dialogue, the release of Cubans jailed for the events of July 2021, and a rejection of violence by regime officials.

Include the freedom of Cuba's political prisoners, justice for the victims of repression, and national reconciliation for Cuba in prayers said at Mass.

We are closely following events in Cuba, and our thoughts and prayers are with the Cuban people on this day. 6/6
