On March 10, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) named Cuba as a Tier 2 violator of religious freedoms in its 2019 Annual Report. This Report enumerates regular serious violations of freedom of conscience on the island, spearheaded by its Office of Religious Affairs and State Security. GLA joins its voice to the USCIRF’s recommendations of sanctions so that for the U.S. government protect freedom of worship in Cuba: 1) deny visas to religious freedom abusers, especially Religious Affairs Head, Caridad Diego; 2) facilitate the U.S. visa application process for Cuban religious leaders, whether they are officially recognized or not; 3) encourage other countries to bring up Cuba’s freedom of worship violations in every discussion with or about Cuba.
