In the month of April 2026 alone, more than 300 arbitrary arrests and more than 700 human rights violations were counted in Cuba.

Omissions

• The Cubalex April 2026 monthly report on human rights in Cuba exists at cubalex.org but its detailed content could not be accessed to verify the specific figures claimed.
• The only accessible figure — 85 arrests after protests (Amnesty International, citing Cubalex) — represents a subset of arrests linked to protests, not the total of arbitrary arrests claimed, so it cannot be directly compared to the 'more than 300' figure.
• The Le Monde article (19 May 2026) reporting 1,260 political prisoners in April 2026 refers to the total stock of political prisoners, not monthly arrests, and is therefore a different metric.
• The claim does not cite any source, making independent verification difficult for a very recent period (April 2026).
