"Securing freedom & democracy for Cuba is something we must fight for every day. This week, we brought that fight to the international stage, but we can't let up. I want to give you a quick update on the talks I've had over the last two days.

Yesterday, I spoke with @jdanielferrer's family. He is subjected to daily physical & psychological torture by the communist Cuban regime in an attempt to end his life. We know the regime's fear of the freedom & democracy movement spreading across Cuba drives this torture.

Following this heartbreaking call, I reached out to the
@WhiteHouse, @UN and @OAS_official to discuss the urgent human rights crisis in Cuba, urge them to immediately demand & secure humanitarian medical visits & call for freedom for all jailed freedom activists.

I spoke with @antonioguterres & @Almagro_OEA2015 about @jdanielferrer & the other jailed freedom activists suffering under the Diaz-Canel & Castro regime (@EmbaCubaUS) & greatly appreciate their commitment to work with us in addressing & combating this human rights crisis.

This afternoon, I also spoke to @WHNSC Senior Director for the Western Hemisphere @Cartajuanero & made clear that we cannot tolerate further delays or inaction from the Biden admin. @jdanielferrer & others are dying. The U.S. must step up & demand humanitarian intervention.

The Cuban people deserve freedom from this tyranny & true democracy so they can live without fear. I truly hope that following these calls, the Biden admin & others will take action & stand with José Daniel Ferrer & the Cuban people fighting for their freedom."
