SYNOPSIS

On July 11, 2021, Cuba heated up. Thousands of citizens came out throughout the island to protest the economic, social, and political situation in the country. The price of what we experienced that day has been the use of repression by the Cuban State following the combat order issued by President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, and the imprisonment of more than a thousand citizens. To this day, hundreds of men and women remain in Cuban prisons, subjected to all kinds of abuse and sentenced to excessive sentences. We invite you to learn about their stories and understand how injustice reigns around us, this week on #ElDesvelo.

WHY ARE THEY IN JAIL?
