It places this approach in Gene Sharp\u2019s broader catalog of nonviolent action and notes that, in Cuba, resistance has often mixed peaceful demonstrations with other forms of struggle, but these assemblies are increasingly being championed by \u201cCristario\u201d content creators-Christian and libertarian-leaning voices critical of socialism and state propaganda.<\/p>\n<p>Using examples from early 2026, it describes the regime\u2019s common repression pattern: interrogate and warn the targeted person, try to recruit them as an informant, then threaten them if they refuse; afterward, the state pressures family and friends. The article cites specific cases such as Marcos Antonio Perdomo (interrogated for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/i-am-troubled-sen-hawley-asks-u-s-commission-on-international-religious-freedom-to-add-canada-to-watch-list\/\" title=\"\u2018I Am Troubled\u2019: Sen.

It also reports that relatives of figures like Anna Bensi and others were summoned and intimidated, followed by measures such as house arrest and travel blacklisting.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the article argues that repression has been met with growing public courage rather than silence: multiple solidarity gatherings took place in Havana over weeks, typically held outside police stations during interrogations, featuring prayers, photos\/selfies posted immediately online, and increasing participation over time. It also notes that the regime adjusted tactics in May by moving interrogations to places like workplaces, seemingly to prevent larger assemblies, and recounts claims that attempts to disrupt gatherings occurred thru simultaneous summonses.<\/p>\n<p>the piece presents these assemblies as a potentially expanding model of faith-based, public, nonviolent solidarity designed to counter intimidation by strengthening community ties and making dissent harder to isolate.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-8ae3e0ea-0 jNWXHo\">\n<div>\n<p>In his seminal work \u201cThe Politics of Nonviolent Action,\u201d political scientist Gene Sharp cataloged 198 methods of nonviolent action. Wherever tyranny existed, the American scholar found a hopeful and creative form of civic resistance emerging from diverse populations.<\/p>\n<p>Through sit-ins, musical performances, and countless other forms of expression, men and women across the globe voiced their dissent against specific policies or systems.<\/p>\n<p>Among these methods, Sharp included the \u201cprotest or support assembly.\u201d He classified it as a method of \u201cprotest and persuasion,\u201d aimed at making public support \u2014 or opposition \u2014 to a specific cause visible, while seeking to mobilize citizens and exert pressure on opponents without resorting to violence.<\/p>\n<p>In Cuba, the long history of resistance against totalitarianism has involved recourse to both violence and peaceful demonstrations. And within this civic landscape, the protest or support assembly has carved out a space \u2014 one that is currently being championed by young Christians.<\/p>\n<p>There are precedents. In April 2021, evangelical leader Marcos Antonio Perdomo was interrogated by the National Revolutionary Police (PNR) in Santiago de Cuba. He was reprimanded for continuing to hold worship services, thereby defying the Castro regime\u2019s COVID-19 lockdown orders.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/n9.cl\/b9x15z\">solidarity<\/a> with Perdomo, a group of some twenty believers gathered outside the Micro 9 Police Station and remained there until he emerged from the building.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, there has been a surge in such displays of solidarity; their primary inspiration is a movement of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/yes-the-church-is-the-bride-of-christ\/\" title=\"Yes, The Church Is The Bride Of Christ\">young evangelical<\/a> and libertarian influencers in Cuba that first emerged in late 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The Christian content creators \u2014 Anna Bensi, Ernesto Ricardo Medina (of El4tico), Iv\u00e1n Daniel Cal\u00e1s, and David Espinosa \u2014 and, on the other side, the four members of the widely followed program Fuera de la Caja (Outside the Box), did not initially know one another.<\/p>\n<p>However, the thematic overlap in the issues they address eventually led them to collaborate, both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/XE7aoMTzZxc\">on-camera<\/a> and behind the scenes. The discourse of the <em>Cristario<\/em> axis \u2014 a blend of \u201cChristian\u201d and \u201clibertarian\u201d \u2014 is anti-socialist and pro-free market; it champions Cuba\u2019s Christian heritage and envisions a future free from the leftist propaganda that has dominated the country for nearly seven decades.<\/p>\n<p>They represent a sort of crystallization of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UxJcv6R-lBQ\">New Right<\/a>\u201d concept articulated by political scientist Agust\u00edn Laje: sovereigntists, patriots, conservatives, and libertarians united against totalitarian ideologies.<\/p>\n<p>Since late 2025, this group has engaged in public education through videos disseminated via profiles and YouTube channels, covering topics such as the separation of powers, public service, totalitarianism, and religious and financial freedom; they have also dispelled myths surrounding the much-maligned concept of capitalism.<\/p>\n<p>This activity has placed them squarely under the regime\u2019s microscope.<\/p>\n<p>In an unfortunately familiar cycle \u2014 one seemingly lifted straight from the socialist political police\u2019s playbook \u2014 repression begins in concentric circles radiating outward from the targeted individual.<\/p>\n<p>First, the victim is \u201cinterviewed\u201d and warned to abandon their dissident discourse; next, an attempt is made to recruit them as an informant for the intelligence apparatus; should they refuse to compromise, threats inevitably follow. The next circle to be targeted consists of friends and family members, who receive summonses and threats, pressured to \u201ccounsel\u201d their loved one.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, in April, the political police <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cibercuba.com\/noticias\/2026-04-25-u1-e207888-s27061-nid327107-seguridad-estado-cita-madre-activista-fuera-caja\">summoned<\/a> Yusleidy Bosques \u2014 mother of Karel Daniel Hern\u00e1ndez, a member of the group Fuera de la Caja (Outside the Box) \u2014 to the National Revolutionary Police (PNR) station located at Infanta and Manglar in Havana.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonstand.com\/#:~:text=%C2%BFPor%20qu%C3%A9%20fue%20citada%20la,su%20hija%20en%20redes%20sociales.\">Caridad Silvente<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubanet.org\/citan-a-la-hermana-de-anna-bensi-tras-visita-de-mike-hammer\/\">Elmis Rivero<\/a> (a U.S. citizen) \u2014 the mother and sister, respectively, of Anna Bensi \u2014 were also summoned and subjected to intimidation regarding the repercussions Bensi would face if she continued posting criticisms of the socialist system.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, both Silvente and Bensi were held under house arrest for a month and placed on the blacklist of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/diariodecuba.com\/derechos-humanos\/1585750314_15169.html\">regulated<\/a>\u201d individuals \u2014 those barred from leaving the country.<\/p>\n<p>However, alongside this subsequent wave of repression came a surge of solidarity. By my count, five solidarity gatherings took place within a span of seven weeks (from March 11 to April 25, 2026).<\/p>\n<p>On each occasion \u2014 during a summons issued to a member of the Eje Cristario or a family member \u2014 each woman gathered friends, followers, and leaders or brethren in the faith outside the police stations where the interrogations were taking place, remaining there until the interrogated individual emerged.<\/p>\n<p>The solidarity assemblies held during this period were characterized by public prayers offered on behalf of the summoned individual, performed in circles formed directly in front of the police stations \u2014 all of which were located in Havana.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, each gathering was documented through selfies and photographs, which were uploaded immediately to social media; this revealed a shift in attitude regarding resistance to the totalitarian state \u2014 no longer marked by cautious apprehension, but rather by an openly displayed courage.<\/p>\n<p>Another noteworthy element is that, from the very first assembly on March 11 (when Silvente went to the PNR Station in Alamar) to the one held on April 25 (the Bosques gathering at Infanta and Manglar), the number of participants steadily increased.<\/p>\n<p>While images from the first event show nine people gathered, the final assembly drew 19 attendees \u2014 an event that even featured a sort of bicycle caravan carrying a portion of the participants as they made their way to the police station.<\/p>\n<p>Could these assemblies grow to become events involving dozens or even hundreds of citizens?<\/p>\n<p>The regime shifted its strategy regarding summonses to police stations in May.<\/p>\n<p>Early that month, Castroist henchmen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/amilcar.andresbravo\/posts\/2126867121489817?ref=embed_post\">interrogated<\/a> Am\u00edlcar Andr\u00e9s Bravo \u2014 father of Abel and Bety, the young members of the Fuera de la Caja (Outside the Box) collective \u2014 but this time, the interrogation took place at his workplace: the Cuban Sports Research Center. Had the military authorities changed the location of the interrogation to prevent another solidarity assembly \u2014 one that might have been even larger than previous ones?<\/p>\n<p>Alfredo G. Fominaya Roig, a student at the Pentecostal Theological University of Cuba, has participated in three of the recent solidarity assemblies held in Havana. Having himself become a influential figure \u2014 particularly through his profile \u2014 he has faced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo\/?fbid=1381199350693120&#038;set=el-joven-cubano-alfredo-g-fominaya-roig-alfredito-fominaya-estudiante-de-cuarto-\">threats<\/a> due to the videos he posts criticizing the regime.<\/p>\n<p>The first solidarity assembly he attended was held in support of Anna Bensi, even though he knew her only through social media.<\/p>\n<p>Alfredo recalls how the regime attempted to sabotage an assembly organized in support of the young woman. He was unable to attend another of the content creator\u2019s summonses (on April 12) because the political police had \u2014 in a move described as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/yaiset.rodriguezfernandez\/posts\/10242541537217103?ref=embed_post\">simultaneous and malicious<\/a>\u201d \u2014 issued a summons to David Espinosa; consequently, many people were already en route to support him in a different part of Havana.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the solidarity assemblies he has attended, he notes that while each offered a distinct experience, they d certain common nuances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe one constant is that we pray before the person who was summoned goes inside,\u201d he says. \u201cThen, during the wait, conversations spring up \u2014 along with mutual understandings, d affinities, and friendships that grow increasingly solid with each passing time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alfredo believes that \u201cthe dictatorship, in its attempt to sever that connection, has only succeeded in making us more united and stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These gatherings conclude only when the summoned individual emerges from the police station, where they are greeted \u201cwith joy and a keen curiosity to hear about their latest encounter with those Orwellian dogs,\u201d recounts the young man affiliated with the Assemblies of God.<\/p>\n<p>In his case, he attended for the first time because he had asked a friend to let him know when the next solidarity assembly took place. He had seen photos of people gathered at a previous one and told himself that he was one of them. \u201cIn hard times, I couldn\u2019t help but be where those who thought the same way I did were.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The example of others who had come before him \u2014 spread through an open channel like social media \u2014 combined with ideological alignment and, most importantly, d faith as a unifying bond, drew Alfredo to more than one of these acts of resistance.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen whether the courage of others proves contagious and activates the civic responsibility of other Cubans during this decisive hour for the island.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-4699d60d-0 sc-e5014824-0 kNkoeB hKBuKc\">\n<p><em>Yoe Su\u00e1rez is The Washington Stand\u2019s international affairs correspondent.
