A transgender woman with HIV who participated in an anti-government protest in Cuba on July 11, 2021, remains in prison two years later.

Authorities arrested Brenda Díaz in Güira de Melena in Artemisa province.

The Güira de Melena protest was one of dozens against the Cuban government that took place across the country July 11, 2021. Díaz is among the hundreds of people who were arrested during the demonstrations.

A Havana court last year sentenced García to 14 years in prison. She appealed her sentence, but Cuba’s People’s Supreme Court upheld it.

Yoan de la Cruz, who is gay, used Facebook Live to livestream the first July 11 protest that took place in San Antonio de los Baños in Artemisa province. The same Havana court that sentenced Díaz condemned De La Cruz to six years in prison, but he was released in May 2022 and placed under house arrest for five years.

Brenda was sentenced to 14 years in prison for participating with thousands of people that took to the streets in Cuba on July 11, 2021, to demand, among other things, the improvement of people’s quality of life and guarantee citizens’ rights. Parts of the LGBTQ community joined the marches, since they had particular reasons for protesting that were in addition to the protesters’ general demands.

For the protagonists of a new documentary, even lonely, snowy Moscow on the eve of war is preferable to life on their native island.

or the protagonists of Luis Alejandro Yero’s Calls from Moscow, the Russian capital was a place of intense silence and isolation on the eve of the invasion of Ukraine: almost a ghost town.

“Here nothing happens,” says one of the four Cubans, recently exiled queer men, who form the focus of this bold first feature film, shot just weeks before the start of the war.

Undocumented, unable to speak Russian and facing the brunt of the Kremlin’s anti-LGBTQ laws, the men’s decision to abandon their homes lays bare Cubans’ desperate search for a more promising future.

Dariel, Daryl, Juan Carlos and Eldis live in spare, furnished apartments high enough above the ground to block out any noise from the city below. Nero trails the daily experiences of his uprooted compatriots as they pass their days between precarious work — construction gigs, call center stints — and seemingly uninterrupted phone use. They lip-sync on TikTok and keep up with the news back home. They also talk: Conversations with bosses, clients and, of course, loved ones fill the air of an otherwise silent Moscow.

According to the reports of the MSM, the island of Cuba has become a tropical paradise for LGBT people under the government of Castro’s tyrannical regime. How is possible that Cuban gays leave their country and go to Russia that has anti LGBT laws, looking for a better future. As the saying says, “The proof is in the pudding”, meaning in this case that you can judge the truth of the reports by their results.
 
Many lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people suffer violence and discrimination, particularly in Cuba’s countryside. Prisoners Defenders reported in July 2023 that over 100 transgender women imprisoned in Cuba are held with men, in violation of international human rights standards.
