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 Comisin Cubana de Derechos Humanos y Reconciliacin Nacional (Cuban NGO specializing in
Human Rights) as well as other sources in the island.

Summary
At least 413
arbitrary
arrests for
political
reasons.

13 dissidents
were victims
of physical
aggression.

65 harrassed
because of
political
reasons.

13 victims of
acts of
repudiation.

8 victims of
acts of
vandalism
on their
home.

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