STOP THE STRANGULATION OF CUBA

Statement by the SVG-Cuba Friendship Society

The SVG Cuba Friendship Society joins our voice with those of the many civil society organizations around the world to condemn the latest attempts by the United States Government to further strangle the government of the Republic of Cuba

We energetically reject the designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism. The US Department of State knows this not to be true. This designation is but a pretext to further justify the unpopular and criminal economic and financial punishment to which Cuba has been subjected since 1962. The majority of members of the United Nations General Assembly has repeatedly voted for the lifting of these unjust sanctions to be removed.

Cuba, despite these coercive measures has shared the little it had on its plate with other poor nations around the world.
