A resolution commending the courage, bravery, and resolve of the fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters of Cuba, whom 5 years ago, stood in the face of brutal harassment, beatings, and torture to protest against the Communist Cuban regime, demanding access to their fundamental rights to life, dignity, and freedom.

This Senate resolution marks five years since the July 11, 2021, protests in Cuba and commends the people who took part in them and other pro-democracy activists in Cuba. It condemns the Cuban government's detention and treatment of activists and political prisoners and calls for their immediate and unconditional release. It asks the international community to speak out and to use coordinated sanctions and diplomatic pressure against the Cuban government. It also calls on the President's administration to keep sanctions on the Cuban government until the conditions in U.S. law for removing them are met, and it encourages support for Cuban civil society groups and independent media. The resolution does not create new laws or spending.
