"On April 22, 2021, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) adopted Resolution 34/21, in which it granted precautionary measures in favor of Yoel Suárez Fernández, after considering that he finds himself in a situation of serious and urgent risk of irreparable damage to his rights in Cuba.

According to the request, the beneficiary is being subjected to threats, harassment, intimidations and detentions by state actors, purportedly as a result of his work as an independent journalist and writer in Cuba. The Commission regrets not having received the State's observations, even though these were requested in accordance with Article 25.5 of its Rules of Procedure."
