RESOLUTION
Commending the courage, bravery, and resolve of the fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters of Cuba, who, 5 years ago, stood in the face of brutal harassment, beatings, and torture to protest against the Communist Cuban regime, demanding access to their fundamental rights to life, dignity, and freedom.
- (1) commends the bravery, courage, and resolve of the members of the pro-democracy movement and all freedom activists in Cuba for risking their lives to bring freedom to the Cuban people;
- (2) condemns the continued repression of the hundreds of pro-democracy activists and political prisoners, including children, that the Cuban regime is unjustly detaining and subjecting to physical and psychological torture, and calls for their immediate and unconditional release;
- (3) condemns the brutal, totalitarian dictatorship of the Cuban regime and demands an end to the suffering of the men, women, and children of Cuba and the impunity of the human rights abusers of the regime;
- (4) calls for the international community to stand with the Cuban people and speak out against the repressive acts and infringement on fundamental freedoms conducted by the Cuban regime, such as infringement on expression, belief, and assembly;
- (5) urges the international community to hold the Cuban regime accountable for its human rights violations through coordinated sanctions and diplomatic pressure;
