May Day in Cuba: Celebration or Repression?

Cubalex & Justicia 11J observed an increase in repressive events against activists, opponents, journalists & relatives of detained people…

After a two-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cuban Government called for May 1st parades throughout the country (21 pictures).

Patricio Fernandez from Cuba took our photo of the day: “Tourists and Cubans on the Havana Malecón”.
