STATEMENT BY THE CUBAN CANADIANS COALITION
G7 Calls for Democratic Change in Cuba: A Position Consistent with the Recommendations We Presented to Canada’s Parliament
Ottawa, Canada | November 12, 2026
The Cuban Canadians Coalition welcomes the statement issued by G7 Foreign Ministers expressing concern over the profound economic crisis and humanitarian needs facing the Cuban people, including shortages of food, fuel and medicines.
We particularly welcome the G7’s call on the Cuban authorities to implement meaningful political and economic reforms, take concrete steps towards multi-party democratic governance, guarantee press freedom and freedom of expression and association, and release all individuals arbitrarily detained.
These positions closely reflect the recommendations presented by the Cuban Canadians Coalition before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development (FAAE) on February 26, 2026, alongside three other organizations (@observacuba @CiudadaniayL @cubacenter).
In our testimony, we called on the Government of Canada to ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches the Cuban people through independent channels, demand the unconditional release of political prisoners, prevent Canadian economic engagement from benefiting military-controlled enterprises, and strengthen support for independent journalists and human rights defenders.
We believe the G7 statement reinforces the need for a policy towards Cuba that addresses not only the humanitarian emergency but also its underlying political causes.
We also remind the Government of Canada that Cuban diplomatic representatives speak on behalf of the authorities in Havana, not on behalf of the Cuban people. The voices of independent civil society, human rights defenders, political prisoners’ families and the Cuban diaspora must be heard and taken into account.
The Cuban Canadians Coalition reaffirms its willingness to work with the Government of Canada, parliamentarians and democratic partners towards a free, democratic and pluralistic Cuba.
We call on Canada to translate the principles expressed in the G7 statement and the recommendations presented before Parliament into concrete and consistent diplomatic action.
The Cuban people deserve the freedom to choose their future through genuinely free and internationally observed multi-party elections.

✊ ¡Crece el reclamo de libertad para Yoel Pérez Serrano!
Las muestras de solidaridad con el joven activista de la UNPACU se multiplican en Santiago de Cuba, Bayamo y otras localidades del país.
Grafitis en las calles y pronunciamientos de activistas reclaman su liberación ce detenido en el cuartel provincial de la policía política de Versalles, en Santiago de Cuba, tras su arresto el pasado 7 de noviembre.
El joven contribuía, junto a la iniciativa humanitaria Salvar a Cuba, a alimentar a más de 400 personas en Guamuta, en El Cobre.
Su detención ha despertado nuevas muestras de apoyo entre quienes defienden su labor comunitaria y denuncian la persecución contra quienes ayudan a los más necesitados.

🇨🇺 Five years after the #11J protests, repression in #Cuba has not eased.
According to @justicia11j more than 1,600 people were detained in connection with the protests, and 337 political prisoners remain behind bars.
As Camila Rodríguez (@interpuellas) explains, 'The 11J barriers of fear.' Since then, more than 1,700 protests have been documented across Cuba. Yet arrests, intimidation and criminalisation of dissent continue.
