    tl;dr:

    Authorities responded with a wave of widespread repression across the country. Amnesty International has also criticized the Cuban courts’ lack of genuine independence, particularly in politically motivated cases where they display undeniable deference to the Attorney General’s Office and where convictions of political dissidents are virtually guaranteed. Judicial authorities systematically conduct these trials in closed sessions, without public access. Amnesty International has repeatedly requested access to various trials of activists or political dissidents, without receiving a response from the authorities. Among the actions of Luis Manuel and Maykel that the court considered criminal are the posting of texts and images of political protest on social media, such as a meme referring to the authorities, photographs on the beach with the Cuban flag, participating in demonstrations and singing a protest song in the street.
