The freedom of expression defense organization ‘Article 19’ pointed out on Monday that in 2022 the Castro regime headed by Miguel Díaz-Canel committed 403 aggressions against the press in Cuba, most of them propitiated by the Department of State Security (DSE), one of its main repressive organs.
In its report entitled “Silence and exile, the forced exile of independent journalists in Cuba”, the NGO stated that the DSE was responsible for 81% of the more than 400 aggressions against the practice of independent journalism in the Caribbean nation.
The data provided by ‘Article 19’ was gathered through information provided by dozens of Cuban journalists who shared their experiences with the organization.
Most are in exile after the citizen protests against Díaz-Canel in the middle of last year.
Since then, the repression of dissidence and the free press escalated on the Caribbean island.
