Jonathan David Muir Burgos

Extra Bio Info:

Jonathan David Muir Burgos is detained for his religious association. 

In March 2026, authorities arrested 16-year-old Muir Burgos along with his father, Pastor Elier Muir Ávila, during political protests. Government authorities had previously targeted Pastor Muir Ávila for his leadership of Tiempo de Cosecha, an unregistered Protestant church. In 2024, the Office of Religious Affairs of the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party repeatedly sent government officials and religious leaders to intimidate him to close his church. Authorities released Pastor Muir Ávila the same day of his arrest, but continue to detain his son, Jonathan, as an attempt at coercion by proxy. 

During detention, authorities denied Muir Burgos medical care for a skin condition requiring constant treatment.
