English/Español: Rubio, Scott, Colleagues Introduce Resolution Recognizing One Year Since Cuba’s 11J Protests
On July 11, 2021, thousands of Cubans took to the streets in a historic and organic protest against decades of oppression, censorship, and human rights violations at the hands of the communist regime.
U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rick Scott (R-FL) introduced a resolution marking one year since the 11J pro-democracy demonstrations in Cuba and condemning the Castro/Díaz-Canel regime’s horrific attempts to silence Cubans as they demand freedom on the island.
-
“The Cuban people’s desire for basic freedoms, following decades of oppression under the criminal Castro/Díaz-Canel dictatorship, were heard worldwide as they courageously took to the streets on 11J. As a result of their courage, the regime arbitrarily detained, tortured, and censored civilians, including minors. The Biden Administration must end its policy of concessions to the communist regime and hold the dictatorship accountable.” — Senator Rubio
-
“Since the July 11th demonstrations, the Cuban people’s fight for ‘Patria y Vida’ and democracy in Cuba has only grown stronger. We will never rest until the freedom-loving people of Cuba are liberated from the illegitimate communist regime that continues to oppress and torture them. For decades, we have seen how the cowardly regime attacks, kidnaps, tortures, jails and murders the brave people of Cuba whose only ask is for their God-given basic human rights. These attacks and oppression must end. A new day of freedom in Cuba is closer than ever before, and I won’t stop fighting until we see an end to the Castro/Díaz-Canel regime.” — Senator Scott
Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Braun (R-IN) are also cosponsors. A companion resolution was introduced by U.S. Representatives Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL), María Elvira Salazar (R-FL), Carlos Giménez (R-FL), Rick Crawford (R-AR), and Michael McCaul (R-TX) in the U.S. House of Representatives.

El 11 de julio del 2021, miles de cubanos salieron a las calles de Cuba en una protesta histórica en contra de décadas de opresión, censura y violaciones de los derechos humanos a manos del régimen comunista.
Los senadores estadounidenses Marco Rubio (R-FL) y Rick Scott (R-FL) presentaron una resolución para conmemorar el primer aniversario de las históricas manifestaciones democráticas del 11J en Cuba y condenando la brutal represión por parte del régimen ilegítimo comunista cubano que busca silenciar a los cubanos que exigen libertad en la isla.
- “El deseo del pueblo cubano por tener libertades básicas, tras décadas de opresión bajo la dictadura criminal de Castro/Díaz-Canel, se escuchó en todo el mundo cuando valientemente salió a las calles el 11J. Como resultado de su valentía, el régimen detuvo, torturó y censuró arbitrariamente a civiles, incluyendo menores de edad. La Administración Biden debe poner fin a su política de concesiones al régimen comunista y responsabilizar a la dictadura”. — senador estadounidense Rubio
- “Desde las manifestaciones del 11 de Julio, la lucha del pueblo cubano por democracia, ‘patria y vida’ en Cuba no ha hecho más que fortalecerse. Nunca descansaremos hasta que el pueblo cubano amante de la libertad sea liberado del ilegítimo régimen comunista que continúa oprimiéndolo. Durante décadas, hemos visto cómo el régimen cobarde ataca, secuestra, tortura, encarcela y asesina al valiente pueblo de Cuba que exige sus derechos humanos básicos otorgados por Dios. Estos ataques y la opresión deben terminar. Un nuevo día de libertad en Cuba está más cerca que nunca y no dejaré de luchar hasta ver el fin del régimen de Castro/Díaz-Canel”. — senador estadounidense Scott
Los senadores Ted Cruz (R-TX) y Mike Braun (R-IN) son co-patrocinadores de la resolución. Una resolución complementaria fue presentada en la Cámara de Representantes por los Congresistas Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL), María Elvira Salazar (R-FL), Carlos Giménez (R-FL), Rick Crawford (R-AR) y Michael McCaul (R-TX).
