AUCKLAND, New Zealand — In campaigning against the over 60-year U.S. economic war against Cuba, “it’s important to demand Cuba’s removal from Washington’s State Sponsors of Terrorism list,” Luis Ernesto Morejón Rodríguez, Cuba’s ambassador to New Zealand, told a public meeting here Sept. 14. Cuban Embassy Consul Hortensia Rodríguez Martínez also took part.
Some 30 people attended the event, which was organized by the Cuba Friendship Society.
We, the undersigned parliamentarians from across the globe, condemn the designation of Cuba as a “state-sponsor of terrorism” and call on our respective governments to take immediate action to advocate for its removal.
The United Sates’ designation of Cuba as a “state-sponsor of terrorism” is cynical, cruel, and a clear violation of international law.
Dear All,
We invite you to an important public meeting to discuss and advocate for an end to the U.S. embargo and sanctions on Cuba. Now is the time to lift the economic and travel restrictions that have unjustly burdened the Cuban people for over six decades.

Ignacio Ramonet, academician and former editor of Le Monde diplomatique, has written an open letter to President Joe Biden. It offers nations, organizations, and individuals a golden moment for getting rid of a critical piece of the U.S. system of economic blockade of Cuba. Ramonet argues in the strongest possible terms that the U.S. President must end the U.S. designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism (SSOT) and do it now.
