                      FREEDOM AND LIBERTY FOR CUBA

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOE WILSON

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 21, 2021

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, historic protests 
against the brutal communist Cuban regime are taking place across Cuba. 
I commend the courage of the Cuban people as they stand together to 
demand basic human freedoms. Socialist oppression in Cuba has gone on 
long enough and the people of Cuba are standing for freedom and 
liberty.
  Cuba's socialist dictatorship has tortured the people of Cuba for 
decades, forcing the entire country into shambles and economic turmoil. 
Now, as the people of Cuba peacefully protest this oppressive regime, 
Cuban regime thugs are taking protesters from their homes for nothing 
more than calling for freedom. These horrifying events are not 
uncommon, and it is time the Cuban regime be held responsible for their 
offences against Cuban families.
  It was inspiring to see American flags being flown during Sunday's 
protests. Cubans have historically stood up against totalitarian 
communism, and the United States stands with them.
