Haiti: Activists and organizations from Haiti and its diaspora urge France to address its colonial past in Haiti on the bicentenary of the “independence debt” - Amnesty International 17th of April 2025 marks the 200th anniversary of France imposing on Haiti the obligation to pay compensation for the loss of colonial profits from enslaved labour, known as the “independence debt”. T...

On April 17, 1825, France forced Haiti to pay for its independence.

The harmful and lasting effects of the "debt of independence" continue to manifest themselves in the political, social, economic, humanitarian and human rights situation of the country to this day.

#Cuba
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.

From @amnistiaamericas.bsky.social we demand the immediate and unconditional release of all those unjustly imprisoned for exercising their human rights, including prisoners of conscience Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, Maykel Castillo, Loreto Hernández, Roberto Pérez Fonseca and Saylí Navarro.

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.

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.
