The Supreme Court of Cuba has ordered two prominent dissidents to be detained because both have violated their parole clauses separately.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court of the Court was sometimes authorized to arrest Jose Daniel Ferrer and Felix Navarro.

"In addition to not complying with the terms of parole (Ferrer and Navarro), they are people who openly call for disrespect for authorities and maintain public contact with the head of the U.S. Embassy in their social and online environments," said Vice President Maricela Sosa.

The men were released earlier this year as part of a deal introduced by the late Pope Francis and the Catholic Church. As part of the deal, outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden, Democrat, removed Cuba from the list of state sponsors for terrorism.

Biden's decision was quickly turned around when Republican Donald Trump replaced him as president on January 20. The next day, Trump ordered Cuba to be restored to the list, which limited foreign aid, defense sales, and other financial interactions with designated countries.

Nevertheless, by March, Cuba announced that it had completed the end of the bargaining, releasing a total of 553 people. Although critics of the Cuban government called them "political prisoners", Havana insists that the released persons represent "diversified crimes."

On Tuesday, the U.S. State Department issued a statement condemning the latest arrests, which also reportedly swept Ferrer's wife and children.

It said in a social media post: "The United States strongly condemns the cruel treatment and unjust detention of the Cuban Patriot, his wife and son, as well as Felix Navarro, and several other pro-democracy activists."

It added that the U.S. Embassy in Havana “will continue to meet with Cubans who support their fundamental rights and freedoms.”

Ferrer himself is one of the most prominent critics of prisoners’ release. Ferrer is a fisherman and founder of the Cuban Patriotic Union (UNPACU), advocating democratic reforms on the island, leading to clashes with the Havana community government.

After his release in January, Ferrer named the Vatican agent's deal as a propaganda stunt for the Cuban government in an interview after his release from the New York Times.

"In the presumed gesture of goodwill, they release many people who should never be sentenced to jail, and then they hope to exchange for those who have made concessions in the church and the U.S. government," Ferrer said.

“They are praised and the world thinks they are so generous.”

Ferrer publicly refused to accept conditions for release, including a mandatory court appearance, because he was never imprisoned in the first place.

Both he and Navarro were arrested, which began in 2003 when it was an incident known as Black Springs. According to the allegations, they colluded with the U.S. government to detain 75 dissidents.

Feile also was arrested in 2019 for accusing him of kidnapping and assaulting a man, an allegation he denied.

Then, in 2021, Cuba held a massive protest during the common 19-19 pandemic, with the scarcity of basic supplies such as food and medicine. Many protesters accused the Cuban government of shortages and condemned their civil liberties restrictions.

Cuba has long accused the U.S. of sanctions on the island’s economic distress – answering the demonstrations in a police crackdown that led to widespread arrests. One of the people in custody of Navarro and Ferrer was detained until January this year.

In a series of social media posts, Ferrer's sister Ana Belkis Ferrer Garcia announced that he had been detained early Tuesday morning. Her brother recently runs a soup kitchen in San Diego City Cuba.

She noted that UNPACU's headquarters was "robbed" and multiple activists were arrested, Ferrer's wife Nelva Ismarays Ortega Tamayo and their son Daniel Jose.

Ferrer Garcia wrote on X: "All people were taken to an unknown location. Painful and timid criminal tyrants! We demand their immediate release and the release of all detainees and political prisoners."

Later, she added that Ortega Tamayo and Ferrer's sons were "detained for several hours."

Human rights groups also condemned the arrests of Ferrer and Navarro. Cuban human rights observers of the Spanish-based nonprofit linked the incident to the death of Pope Francis, who died on April 21 at the age of 88.

"Raul Castro and Miguel Diaz-Canel did not wait for 72 hours after Francis was buried," the Observatory said in a statement.

The Observatory's decision reconvened Ferrer and Navarro, "betrayed the Pope's request."
