The digital media "Arbejderen", from the Communist Party (KP), circulates a world appeal to reach more than one million signatures, as a demand, to the current government of the United States, to remove Cuba from the list of States sponsors of terrorism, and unconditionally lift the economic, commercial, and financial blockade; that, for more than six decades, maintains against the people of Cuba.
The appeal, promoted by the KP Directorate, calls on global social organizations and leaders, popular movements, ecumenical movements, and artists, athletes, journalists, associations for peace, defense of human rights, and equality between peoples, to join this claim.
OPEN LETTER
Global appeal for one million signatures: Remove Cuba from the terrorist list
Requesting support for an urgent global call for one million signatures to pressure the United States government to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. The sovereignty and dignity of the Cuban people have been under attack by the United States through the brutal blockade for more than 60 years. Added to this is the unfounded inclusion of Cuba on the list of countries that support terrorism.
For the exclusion of Cuba from the list of State sponsors of terrorism and the lifting of the blockade without conditions.
For more than 60 years, the United States government has applied a hostile policy towards Cuba with the clear political intention of isolating the Cuban people through a cruel and inhumane blockade.
In the midst of the pandemic, the Trump administration sought to further damage the Cuban economy by not only tightening the blockade with 243 new sanctions, but also placing Cuba on the list of state sponsors of terrorism.
This designation has prevented Cuba from using the international banking systems and ultimately from purchasing necessary goods on the international market, such as fuel, food, construction materials, hygiene products, and medicines.
For these reasons, it is urgent to demand that the United States remove Cuba from the list. We asked the current president of the United States, Biden, why do you continue to support these criminal policies of Trump? Do you really believe that Cuba is a state sponsor of terrorism?
International demand
In reality, what Cuba has sponsored is international solidarity.
Cuba is the island that saved thousands of lives during the pandemic with the mobilization of different medical brigades that reached more than 50 countries in the world. The island that has been involved in various peace processes, which have opened the doors to the peaceful solution of armed conflicts. It is the country that has shared the method of "Yo, sí puedo" for the literacy of other peoples in the world. The country has shared its method of literacy with the world. It is the same country that during the pandemic produced three vaccines against Covid-19 to cover its population, and that has historically made the flags of solidarity and internationalism available to humanity as the main resource to strengthen the integrity of the peoples of the world.
We believe that international pressure and knowledge of the real consequences can put an end to these measures. In addition, we agree with the 185 countries that, at the UN General Assembly in 2022, as well as in previous years, have rejected the US blockade against Cuba.
For this reason, we call on global social organizations and leaders, popular movements, ecumenical movements, artists, athletes, journalists, associations for peace, the defense of human rights and equality among peoples, to sign this letter.
We want to reach more than one million signatures to demand that the current United States government remove Cuba from the list of State sponsors of terrorism and unconditionally lift the blockade, which has been totally rejected by the international community.
Neither the blockade nor any other measure of this type will be able to defeat the sovereignty and self-determination of the Cuban people. His strength and humanism attest to the results of the people's social project, and he continues to be a reference for the peoples who fight for justice and peace.
Cuba is not alone, the world supports its people!
Cuba YES, blockade NO!
