Thank you, Chair.
Mr. Suarez, we had the Cuban ambassador as a witness at this committee. I'd like to share a quote from him and get your thoughts on it:
The issue of human rights has traditionally been manipulated against Cuba. In Cuba, no one is in prison for their beliefs; rather, it is for breaking the law. No one is in jail without having been tried following due process. Many of these so-called political prisoners have confessed to being paid agents in the service of a superpower that seeks to destroy the Cuban order.
