Under the framework of the UN General Assembly, the event “Human Portraits: Stories from Political Prisoners in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela” brought together representatives of governments, international organizations, civil society organizations, and academia to better understand and discuss the current situation of Cuban, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan political prisoners by hearing firsthand testimony from victims and their families, as well as local organizations fighting daily to protect the rights of this vulnerable population. The event was organized by the Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) in coordination with Cuba Decide (Cuba), Sé Humano (Nicaragua), and Justicia, Encuentro y Perdón (Venezuela).
