José Daniel Ferrer highlights diplomatic commitment after his release and denounces repression in Cuba
Editorial of CubitaNOW ~ Wednesday January 22, 2025
Cuban opposition figure José Daniel Ferrer, recently released from prison, announced this Wednesday that he had had a “very positive and cordial conversation” with Mike Hammer, Head of Mission of the United States Embassy in Cuba. Ferrer stressed that the people of Cuba and the United States are “brotherly people” and expressed optimism about a near future with “friendly governments” and respectful political and economic relations between both nations.
In his statement, Ferrer emphasized that the greatest obstacle to this desired future is the lack of democracy in Cuba and the constant violations of human rights on the island.

The current context adds weight to the opponent’s words. This Tuesday, the Cuban Observatory for Human Rights (OCDH) denounced that the Cuban regime has suspended or slowed down the release of political prisoners. The organization warned that the situation of these detainees remains critical, despite international demands for significant changes on the island.
Ferrer, a symbol of the fight for human rights in Cuba, continues to set the agenda of those who demand profound transformations in the country, while strengthening ties with international allies who share his vision of a free and democratic future for the Homeland of Cuba. Marti.
