A father in Cuba has been unable to see his son, a political prisoner, for more than 100 days. The son is detained in a facility far from their home city. Authorities at the prison repeatedly deny visits and block food deliveries. Human rights groups condemn these actions as psychological torture and abuse of power. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights granted precautionary measures in January 2025 due to the family's urgent risk. The father reports constant surveillance and harassment since 2022.
A Cuban national detained in the United States risks deportation to Cuba after his permanent residency application was denied. An NGO argues he is a genuine refugee because his father, a pastor, has faced decades of persecution by Cuban authorities. The group states that returning him would expose him to forced military service or imprisonment, citing threats made against his family in a city in Cuba. According to the outlet, the young man has no criminal record and plans to join the US Marines. The case highlights tensions between US immigration enforcement and claims of religious persecution.
