Alexander HALL LUJARDO

Historian and author Alexander Hall Lujardo continued to be subjected to a travel ban throughout 2025 (see Case Lists 2023/4-2025). 

In November 2025, Hall publicly stated that the travel ban, in place since 2023, had prevented him from leaving the country to begin postgraduate studies in Ecuador despite having obtained a scholarship. He said that State Security officials had made the lifting of the restriction conditional on his carrying out actions he considered coercive or humiliating, including making a public self-incriminating statement and surrendering money and electronic devices, which he described as a form of political pressure.
