Dear John,
This coming Tuesday will mark the two-year anniversary of the July 11 (J11) protests in Cuba—the country’s largest demonstrations since the 1959 revolution.
Maykel Osorbo and Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, two of the cofounders of Cuba’s San Isidro Movement (MSI), were detained and held in maximum-security prisons on fabricated charges before their trials opened. When proceedings finally took place, it was done behind closed doors. Otero Alcántara was sentenced to five years in prison; Osorbo got nine.
Freedom House spoke with human rights defender Anamely Ramos González—a curator and academic who has worked alongside Otero Alcántara and Osorbo—about the persecution of artists by the Cuban government, and how artists are defending human rights and fighting for the release of political prisoners.
