First steps
Who will know that I have been detained?
When a British national is arrested and detained in Cuba, the Cuban authorities are required to inform the British Embassy. By law, we should be officially informed during the first 72 hours.
However, this is usually done in writing and can take a week to ten days to reach us. We may be informed more quickly by friends or relatives present at the time of the incident , or sometimes directly by the Cuban authorities or British travel companies whose customer has been involved in the case.
