Uruguayans in Cuba

Uruguayans in Cuba are people born in Uruguay who live in Cuba, or Cuban-born people of Uruguayan descent.

During the civic-military dictatorship of Uruguay (1973-1985), more than 1200 Uruguayans went into exile in Cuba, due to leftist parties like the Tupamaros arranging their asylumdom there.[1][2]
