Apart from sanctions against oppressors, Joe Biden should implement measures to alleviate the situation of the Cuban people.
The new sanctions by the U.S. government against Cuba once again increase the pressure against the regime that governs the island, pushing its citizens into poverty and a lack of freedom, but do not in any way contribute to easing the situation faced by the Cuban people. Joe Biden’s government sanctioned the minister of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces, Álvaro López Miera, and the Special National Brigade, also known as the “Boinas Negras” or “Black Berets,” as a result of the unbearable repression by the security forces after the protest demonstrations of July 11. Virtually at the same time, the regime in Cuba conducted a series of summary trials of dozens of people arrested during the protests, with sentences of up to one year in prison.

On July 22, the United States imposed sanctions on the leader of Cuba’s military and on the Cuban Ministry of the Interior’s Special National Brigade in response to Cuban security forces’ violent suppression of peaceful protesters.
Today, the United States is announcing additional sanctions in connection with the Cuban regime’s repression of the peaceful protests that started on July 11. We take this action pursuant to Executive Order 13818, which builds upon and implements the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act. Through the Global Magnitsky sanctions program, the United States seeks to impose tangible and significant consequences to discourage malign actors and promote accountability in connection with serious human rights abuse.
