Human Rights Violations in Cuba

Jennifer Hernandez*

Since the Obama Administration began secret negotiations with the Castro regime in 2013, there have been over 13,000 political

arrests in the island.

The Cuban Commission for Human Rights and Reconciliation (CCHR) recently released its data of documented and confirmed

political arrests for the year 2014. It is suspected, however, that there are more that remain unknown.

In 2014, there were 8,899 short term political arrests in Cuba recorded by the CCHR. That is more than quadruple the amount of

arrests in 2010 (2,074) and close to a 40% increase from 2013 (6,424).

With the current publication, detailing arrests during October – December, 2014, ICCAS initiates a quarterly report on Human Rights

Violations in the island. We will publish this report every three months.

October 2014

The following report compiles information of Cubans arbitrarily arrested and/or detained and experienced harassment, physical

aggression, acts of vandalism and/or acts of repudiation* in Cuba in the month of October 2014. This information is based on the

monthly report published by the Comisión Cubana de Derechos Humanos y Reconciliación Nacional (Cuban NGO specializing in

Human Rights) as well as other sources in the island.

Summary

*Acts of Repudiation are physical and/or verbal aggression mobs organized by State Security (Cuba’s political police).

At least 413 arbitrary

arrests for political reasons.

13 dissidents were victims of physical aggression.

65 harrassed because of political reasons.
