The Patriotic Union of Cuba (Spanish: Unión Patriótica de Cuba, abbreviated UNPACU) is a Cuban dissident organization, described as one of the largest and most active dissident organizations in Cuba, which brings together numerous dissidents in Cuba.[1][2] It was founded on 24 August 2011 by José Daniel Ferrer, after ceasing to be a member of the Christian Liberation Movement. It has defined itself as a civic organization that advocates for a peaceful but firm fight against any repression of civil liberties in the Republic of Cuba.[3]
