Award-winning author Santiesteban has been subject to consistent harassment for his opposition to the Cuban regime on his blog Los Hijos que Nadie Quiso (The Children Who Nobody Loved). He was imprisoned from 2012-2017 for openly criticizing Raul Castro. Since his incarceration, he has become an outspoken advocate for free expression. Santiesteban has continued to endure renewed harassment following the J11 protests. In July 2024, he was detained and interrogated for several hours by authorities ahead of a scheduled meeting on the government’s interference in Masonic affairs.
