"Governments in the Americas and Europe should closely monitor the trial against these prisoners of conscience in #Cuba, who should never have spent a day in prison,�� said @ErikaGuevaraR https://t.co/HCtD6HfuIP
@AmericanBIC@fgorordo @impac_fund Could not agree more @fgorordo. Cubans have seen how a welcoming immigration policy has led to their success. We should offer the same to other refugees and immigrants seeking a better life.
#Cuba is starving, For the world to listen. For your ears. Your eyes. Your rally cry. For your voice to tell their story, Because they can’t. It could cost them their life. Be a voice for Cuba. https://t.co/iH6WctWI8X #SOSCuba#PatriayVida
A Cuban POET is being written up to be brought in for 'questioning' about the peaceful protests planned for #15NovCuba. Repeat after me-Cuba is a POLICE STATE. @amnesty@UNHumanright
"The cry for Cuban liberation has been felt across the world. One phrase rose above the noise again and again: "patria y vida," The phrase comes from a hip-hop song of the same name."

@edlavaCNN Thanks @edlavaCNN. I’m Cuban-American myself and the vast majority of 2nd gen-ers like me share these views. I find we have more in common than not with Cubans of our generation who were raised on the island. We all admire the courage of the protesters.
This perspective gets lost in the simplistic debate over #Cuba. In my years of reporting from Cuba, it's crucial to understand that 60 years of isolation and a younger generation that doesn't know the Cold War has created a world view distinctly different from Cuban-Americans.
The worst economic and health crisis in decades plus a lifetime of human rights abuses.
Chants of “liberty” and “we are not afraid” echoing through Havana. #Cuba
More images of repression coming from Havana, this time against activists protesting in support of Cuban artist #LuisManuelOteroAlcántara, currently in a hunger strike. Activists and bystanders are chanting #PatriaYVida, which has become a dissident slogan.
Erika making the vital point that while Cuba’s ‘leader’ ‘celebrates young pioneers’ @oscarcsb is in jail, deprived of family life. His crime? Having a different opinion to Diaz-Canel. @BabaluBloggers
@CNN_Oppmann FHRF isn’t well placed to comment on individual politicians or their views in the USA. But it’s critical that the desperate unfairness in Cuba - the well documented absence of democracy and human rights - continues to be challenged. Cuban dissidents are brave.
