AI Summary

This resolution commends the courage of Cuban citizens who protested against the Communist regime on July 11, 2021, demanding fundamental rights and freedoms. The resolution highlights the government's brutal response to these protests, which included detaining over 1,400 protesters, cutting internet connectivity, and using violence to suppress dissent. It condemns the ongoing human rights violations by the Cuban regime, including the imprisonment of activists like José Daniel Ferrer García, the use of sham trials, and the imposition of long prison sentences for ill-defined charges. The resolution calls on the international community to stand in solidarity with the Cuban people, demanding an end to the regime's repression, and urges the United States to maintain strong sanctions against Cuba until specific legal conditions are met. Additionally, the resolution supports Cuban civil society organizations and independent media working to promote democracy and human rights, and condemns the regime's efforts to suppress peaceful assembly and free expression.
