Promoter of Cuba Decide, Rosa Maria Payá was a featured speaker in the CABA webinar “The New Plaza Civica in Cuba: The Role of Social Media and Digital Platforms.” The webinar explored concepts of freedom of expression, association and of the press in Cuba in the context of increasingly important digital spaces. The webinar went into detail about Law Decree 370, among other laws, and its impact on freedom of expression in Cuba and how it furthers the regime’s oppressive hold on its people. Specifically, Rosa Maria Payá elaborated upon the situation on the Island by describing individual cases of arrests for speaking out against the regime and citing systematic elements as the root of citizen suppression.
