S 488 United States Senate · 119th Congress

DEMOCRACIA Act

This bill would impose sanctions on foreign entities and individuals that provide financial, material, or technological support to Cuba's defense, security, or intelligence sectors. It also targets individuals responsible for serious human rights abuses in Cuba, including members of the Communist Party, government officials, and security forces. The bill requires the President to provide unrestricted internet service to Cubans that isn't censored by the Cuban government. Sanctions would terminate only if Cuba implements specific democratic reforms, including legalizing political activity, releasing political prisoners, and holding free elections with international oversight.
