Outspoken Cuban Youths to Remain in “Pretrial Detention”
The Provincial Prosecutor’s Office of Holguín confirmed on February 12, 2026 — the same day as a habeas corpus hearing filed on behalf of the detainees and admitted by the Holguín court — that it is pursuing a case against Ernesto Ricardo Medina and Kamil Zayas for alleged “propaganda against the constitutional order” and “incitement to commit crimes.” These offenses are frequently used to criminalize freedom of expression and could result in sentences leaving them deprived of liberty for close to a decade.

Farm production in Cuba’s countryside is thinning out and state investment is minimal. However, in bureaucratic offices ideas abound for tightening control over the flow of foreign currency in the agricultural and forestry sector and over those who work the land.

Official discourse in Cuba has once again equated citizen protest with the right to complain, deeming any public demonstration outside the framework of “institutionality” as illegitimate.

Cuban authorities have once again extended a set of exceptional tariff benefits, established to ease the shortage of basic necessities and the energy crisis in the country.
