Nearly 600 parliamentarians from 73 countries across the globe have written a joint letter, coordinated and published by the Progressive International (PI), condemning Cuba’s designation by the United States as a “state-sponsor of terrorism” as “cynical, cruel, and a clear violation of international law”. In the letter, published today, Friday 20 September, the legislators call on their respective governments to “take immediate action to advocate for [the designation’s] removal.”

Former Colombian President Ernesto Samper released a letter signed by him and 34 other former presidents from Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, Africa and Asia. 

In the letter, the former leaders asked President Joe Biden to remove Cuba from the list before the end of his term in office and asked him to heed this humanitarian call to alleviate the situation of millions of innocent people. ‘No country should compromise the seriousness of the fight against the scourge of terrorism for political ends,’ the document concludes.
