Factsheet on the Santer\u00eda Tradition in Cuba<\/a><\/strong> – This factsheet provides a brief overview of the traditions of the Santeria community in Cuba and highlights the religious freedom violations that community experiences. Santer\u00eda is a syncretic religion from Cuba that incorporates elements of Catholicism with the religion of the Yoruba people from West Africa. An estimated 70 percent of Cuba\u2019s 11 million people perform some type of Afro-Cuban practice, including many of the country\u2019s Catholics. Despite the religion\u2019s prevalence, the Cuban government frequently violates the freedom of religion or belief of independent Santer\u00eda communities in a range of ways, including ongoing harassment, attempts to co-opt the faith for political purposes, and restrictions on members\u2019 ability to worship in private homes. Members of unregistered Santer\u00eda communities, particularly the Free Yorubas, are particularly vulnerable and face ongoing threats of criminal sanctions. These violations are emblematic of the tactics used by the Cuban government to control faith and suppress independent religious communities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
