Press release of the Cuban Embassy:
Tehran, December 1, 2020. In the midst of the health crisis facing the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the US government has intensified the illegitimate and inhumane economic, commercial and financial blockade measures against the people of Cuba, reaching their highest level in more than 60 years.
As if that were not enough, in a new chapter of flagrant and defiant interference in the internal political affairs of Cuba and irrefutable violations of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, the US government promoted, through its embassy in La Havana and with the participation of paid mercenaries resident on the island, the commission of civil disobedience actions and illegal acts against public order, which seek to lead to a situation of internal destabilization.
Cuba has sufficient evidence of the calls and incitements to violence against it by people residing in the United States with a proven record of terrorism, who have been acting with total impunity before the authorities of that country, which leaves once again very clear the double standards of imperial policy.
Although there is still a widespread disinformation campaign deployed by the US and related media; In Cuba there has been no act of violence or repression on the part of the government authorities, demonstrating the invariable vocation of respect of the Cuban government for the human and individual rights of the people, regardless of their political status.
Once again the actions from abroad and the campaigns promoted against our country have failed. The forceful response of the Cuban people in support of their legitimate government once again frustrated the imperial aspirations to stop a revolutionary process that is irreversible and is supported by the overwhelming majority of Cubans.
The government and people of Cuba have made it clear that they will never allow the United States, or anyone else, to interfere in the internal affairs of the country.
