"We will spare no effort to ensure that everyone still detained for simply exercising their rights to freedom of expression, association, or peaceful assembly is free."

"I believe with all my heart that the President chose the right course."

"The promotion of universal human rights and the empowerment of all Cubans must be the bedrock of our policy toward Cuba."

"The U.S. Government will continue programs that promote the realization of human rights and fundamental freedoms such as freedoms of peaceful expression, association, and assembly in Cuba."
