WASHINGTON--The United States expressed concern Wednesday over the plight of several dissidents detained by Cuba, just two weeks after Washington's historic move to normalize relations with Havana.
"We are deeply concerned about the latest reports of detentions and arrests by Cuban authorities of peaceful civil society members and activists," the US State Department said in a statement.
"We strongly condemn the Cuban government's continued harassment and repeated use of arbitrary detention, at times with violence, to silence critics, disrupt peaceful assembly and freedom (of) expression, and intimidate citizens."
