Cubans resident in Jamaica demand the end of the economic blockade and of aggressions against their homeland at the National Conference
Statement by the ‘Antonio Maceo’ Association of Cubans Resident in Jamaica against the US government’s blockade and attacks against Cuba
The commercial, economic and financial blockade of the Government of the United States against the Republic of Cuba began on October 19, 1960, less than two years after the triumph of the Revolution. On February 7, 1962 it was extended to include virtually all commercial relations.
This is the most complete, systematic and long-standing blockade against any country in the history of mankind.
