I would ask you to refer to Amnesty International's recent reports describing Cuba's new penal code, which was imposed in 2022, as draconian and totalitarian. It criminalizes dissent. Technically, yes, you could say that people have broken the law, but there are laws that bar people from being able to express themselves freely. Therefore, the penal code criminalizes dissent and, to a certain degree, it criminalizes thought, because they have the term “peligrosidad social predelictiva”—now they've changed it to a new term—which basically means that potentially in the future, based on your social class or your ideas, you may be a problem, so they can lock you up in prison for four years.
There was a judge who defected a few years ago, and he provided some documentation indicating that there are thousands of people a year being processed under that law, but these aren't even people who are dissidents. These are people who are potential dissidents who are jailed.
I'm sure that Yaxys would like to say something about that as well.
