    Cubalex, a human rights organization, will present a report to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) detailing the militarization of civilian life in Cuba. The report, titled 'Cuba: Impacts of Militarization', will cover a six-month period from February to July 2026, including military deployments during protests, mobility restrictions, and military preparations in educational centers. Cubalex attributes these actions to a 'State of War' transition approved by the Cuban government in January 2026, expanding the Ministry of the Interior's repressive capacity.
