Free Jose Daniel Ferrer and all Cuban political prisoners

Pro democracy leader & Cuban prisoner of conscience José Daniel Ferrer García, wrongfully imprisoned since July 11, 2021 and sentenced to 4 and a half years in prison has been subjected to the most brutal tortures, aiming to slowly kill him or force him into exile. He has endured extreme isolation, sonic attacks, lack of medical attention, beatings, and has been denied conjugal visits 15 times. He hasn't been allowed even a phone call with his family for a year, and the repression extends to his wife, Dr. Nelva Ortega Tamayo, who has been subjected to house arrest and threatened with detention if she publicly denounces the denial of visits to her husband.

Report on Human Rights Violations in Cuba: January 2021

A report of human rights violations as well as other major social, economic and cultural issues in Cuba during the month of January 2021.

Based on this report, the systematic policy of persecuting and arresting human rights activists continues. In the meantime, the regime is giving incentive to those in charge of repression. Whereas a doctor is paid 48 pesos for a 12 hours shift on emergency duty, an entry level policeman (without completion of high school) is paid 4,000 pesos a month and upon completion of a 5 month course they are promoted to the suboficial rank and receive a salary of 6,690 pesos, in addition to other bonus payments depending on rank and seniority.
