SUMMARY:Canada and Cuba in the context of expanding global authoritarianism
DESCRIPTION:Cuba today is experiencing a unique historical moment. For the first time in more than six decades\, a new generation of young people have started to demand their rights in a public and peaceful way. This nascent culture of peaceful resistance requires international support and solidarity to be successful. \nThe Cuban regime through its repressive actions and systematic human rights violations directly threatens key Canadian values and interests\, such as the rule of law\, democracy\, and the existence of an open and pluralistic society. It oppresses its own people\, supports the geopolitical interests and anti-democratic goals of Russia\, China\, and Iran and exports its repressive system to Venezuela and other nations. The Cuban regime’s links to global authoritarianism and its detrimental impact on democracy\, the rule of law\, justice\, human rights\, and civil society require urgent analysis and debate. \nWe believe it is time to rethink Canadian foreign policy to better serve the promotion of human rights and democracy in Cuba. Indeed\, Canada has numerous tools at its disposal to effect change\, including the application of targeted sanctions on high-ranking officials responsible for human rights abuses in Cuba. \nWith its tradition of speaking truth to power in the face of authoritarian regimes\, MLI can make a difference in influencing civil society\, the media and the government in Canada to encourage solidarity with the people of Cuba in their demands for freedom. \nEvent details: \n\nWhen: Tuesday\, November 15th from 12:30 – 2:00 pm ET\nWhere: Kildare House\, 323 Chapel Street\, Ottawa\, ON\, K1N 7Z2\n\nLight food will be provided to guests. Please notify of any food allergies or dietary restrictions when registering. \nSpeakers: \n \n  \nRegister for this event below. \n
