Cuban regime deploys police operation to prevent activists and journalists from attending a US Embassy event.

Independent journalists, activists, and members of Cuban civil society have reported heavy police cordons, surveillance, and threats of arrest deployed by the Cuban regime. The security operation was specifically aimed at preventing these individuals from attending an event titled “Noches americanas,” which was organized by the United States Embassy.

The deployment highlights ongoing restrictions on movement and assembly for independent actors in Cuba, particularly regarding interactions with foreign diplomatic missions. Affected individuals denounced the state measures as a direct violation of their freedom of movement and an attempt to isolate the diplomatic event.
