On October 29th, 2022, news outlets reported that a boat carrying dozens of people fleeing Cuba was intentionally rammed by the Cuban coast guard. Six people, including a two-year-old girl, were killed.

Today, the Czech Republic joined the United States and others in voting against Cuba’s resolution at the United Nations. The facts are incontrovertible. The regime in Havana bears sole responsibility for the suffering of its people. @StateDept @SecRubio @CZinWashington @UN

🇨🇺 Cuba's regime blames its problems on the U.S. embargo. FACT-CHECK: The U.S. embargo does not force Cuba to deny free elections to its people for 67 years, arrest and brutalize activists for expressing criticism, or harass civilians in their own homes. bbc.com/news/world-latin-ame…

Ahead of the International Day of Political Prisoners tomorrow, Freedom House is standing with the more than one million people imprisoned worldwide for exercising their fundamental rights. We also recognize the families who endure the pain of separation and continue fighting for their loved ones' freedom. In their own words, three family members share the devastating toll of political imprisonment and their hopes for reunification: freedomhouse.org/article/fam… #FreeThemAll

Remarkable Political Shift: Cuba's communist regime suffers its worst U.N. result in history. Instead of 187-2, this time 17 countries voted no, 25 abstained, and a record 14 EU states refused to support Havana. Bravo, @USAmbUN. 🇨🇺 #SOSCuba #CubaLibre #Libertad @CubaDecide
2024: UN condemns US embargo on Cuban regime by 187-2. EU boasts all 27 members voted for it. 2026: Remarkable political shift: Cuba suffers worst result ever, with 17 voting no, 25 abstain.

The U.S. expelled a Cuban diplomat after the island country’s foreign minister loudly interrupted an address by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz criticizing Havana’s leadership, and the two shouted at one another on.wsj.com/4zbT1IJ

Cuba scores just 9/100 in Freedom in the World. Last week's harassment of Cuban dissidents at the @UN and yesterday's attempted intimidation of @USAmbUN Waltz are not isolated incidents. They reflect the repressive system responsible for ongoing human rights abuses in Cuba, where dissidence is met with retaliation and fundamental freedoms are routinely denied. Accountability for Cuba's political prisoners and their families cannot wait. @USUN @jdanielferrer @LMOAlcantara #Cuba #HumanRights #PoliticalPrisoners #TransnationalRepression #UNGA #SOSCuba #FreeThemAll

Faced with tough questions about their corrupt failures and blatant hypocrisy, the Cuban regime can only resort to pounding desks and physical intimidation. Their tantrums are unacceptable and only highlight the fraud they perpetrate on their people and the world.

Last year’s vote was a bad day for the Cuban dictatorship at the UN. This year was worse for Havana. 165 votes in 2025 was a historic low, a new one today down to 130. notesfromthecubanexilequarte…

Today nearly triple the number of nations voted no, abstained, or just chose not to vote—turning their back on Havana’s sham resolution at the UN. More work to do, but the world is starting to push back on Cuban regime propaganda as their corruption and oppression is exposed. Cuba Libre!

The Cuban government once again won a vote at the United Nations condemning the U.S. embargo on Wednesday, but lost significant support from countries in the Western Hemisphere and Europe. #Cuba miamiherald.com/news/nation-…

. @USAmbUN - Hoy, casi el triple de países votaron en contra, se abstuvieron o simplemente optaron por no votar, dándole la espalda a la resolución fraudulenta de La Habana en la ONU. Aún queda mucho por hacer, pero el mundo está comenzando a hacerle frente a la propaganda del régimen cubano, mientras quedan al descubierto su corrupción y opresión. ¡Cuba Libre!
