Twelve members of the Cuban American Bar Association were recently admitted to the Supreme Court of the United States. 

After the ceremony in Washington, D.C., and in anticipation of Florida’s Victims of Communism Day, CABA President Giselle Gutierrez hosted a press conference at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation statue. The conference delved into a discussion about CABA’s pending petition before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on behalf of 52 political prisoners, including minors, who were arrested in connection with civil protests in Cuba on July 11, 2021.
