Thanks to your support and taking action, this petition to expel Cuba from the UN Human Rights Council has amassed over 2,200 signatures. Please share it with others.

The Cuban government continues to double down on its systematic violation of human rights. Over a thousand Cuban political prisoners are now imprisoned, together with thousands more arrested for pre-crime, the possibility that one will commit a crime in the future - an Orwellian offense.

Despite this the Castro regime is currently on the UN Human Rights Council, and is running for re-election.

Please share this petition, and news with others and make yourself heard.

Believe it or not, Cuba is campaigning for a seat at the U.N. Human Rights Council | Opinion 

By Andres Oppenheimer

Here’s one of the most outrageous things going on in the world of diplomacy: Cuba — which after its 2021 mass arrests of peaceful protesters has one of the highest populations of political prisoners in the world — is running for re-election as a member of the United Nations Human Rights Council.

What’s just as crazy, it might get enough votes to secure its seat when the U.N. General Assembly meets in mid-October to elect new members to the 47-seat Geneva-based Council.

Four Latin American countries — Brazil, Cuba, Peru and the Dominican Republic — are running for the Council’s three Latin American seats whose terms expire at the end of this year.

“Sadly, based on the fact that Cuba has always been elected, you have to assume that they have good chances of winning again,” Hillel Neuer, head of the U.N. Watch monitoring group, told me.”But if the free world fights for it, Cuba can be defeated.”
