The article offers an analysis of the situation of human rights in Cuba, taking into account the legal framework established by the new Constitution. When Raul Castro took office, he implemented economic changes which were not translated into the political sphere. On the contrary, human rights violations continued, and in some cases have increased. The research presented here is based on interviews conducted between 2016 and 2019 in different cities in Cuba and the follow-up of information in different media sources on illegal arrests on the island. The main goal is to ascertain the intensity of human rights violations in Cuba.
