Leonardo Romero Negrin was arrested today in Havana while protesting with a blank slate.
Activists have denounced that he is being held in the Dragones station and was beaten by state security forces.
Cuban authorities must respect peaceful protest and immediately release Leo.

Many of those released have had restrictions imposed on them that severely limit their human rights.
Others face surveillance, internet cut-offs, harassment and re-arrest.
Many know that they could be re-arrested at any time if they speak out again.

No list of beneficiaries was made public. The existence of people imprisoned for political reasons was not recognised, and above all, hundreds of people remain in Cuban prisons just for exercising their human rights.

The entire release process has been marked by a lack of transparency and the permanence of repression. There has been no will for justice and reparation, let alone guarantees of non-repetition.

#Cuba
On 10 March, the Cuban government announced that the release process, initiated in January after talks with the Vatican, had been completed.
Under what criteria have some people been released from prison while others remain in prison for exercising their human rights?

Activists and #DDDHH organizations denounce the arbitrary detention of @AmnistiaOnline POC Felix Navarro and his wife, Sonia Alvarez Campillo. Their activism and leadership have earned them decades of jail and repression.
Felix, Sonia, Sayli, all must be released immediately and unconditionally now.

Activists and human rights organisations report a possible resumption of releases. Amnesty International denounced in our last press release the characteristics of this process and demanded the immediate and unconditional release of all those imprisoned for exercising their human rights.

Cuba: One month after releases were announced, hundreds remain in prison
The releases have been full of irregularities. Cuban authorities have failed to guarantee the freedom of prisoners of conscience.
The releases have been characterized by the exclusion of the victims and their families, and the absence of guarantees that they will not be detained again if they are perceived to be dissenting voices or opponents of the Government.
