The European Union regrets the decision by the Cuban authorities to revoke the conditional release granted in January to José Daniel Ferrer and Félix Navarro. The EU calls on the authorities to review these decisions and to release all individuals detained for exercising their rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression.

The European Union reiterates its calls for the full respect for human rights and the guarantee that all citizens, including those with dissenting views, can freely exercise their fundamental freedoms.

The European Union will monitor the human rights situation in Cuba and will use all established mechanisms to raise its concerns, in line with the principles of the EU-Cuba Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement (PDCA).
