Dear friends of the solidarity movement with Cuba in India;

My deepest gratitude to each and every one of you and to the vast international movement that you represent, for your persistent, tireless and victorious solidarity with the Cuban people.

It is an honor and a deeply moving experience for me to be here today, in this place, named after Surjeet, a man who embodied, like few others, solidarity among peoples. 

GENEVA – The January 2026 executive order issued by the President of the United States imposing a fuel blockade on Cuba amounts to ‘energy starvation’ with grave consequences for human rights and the country’s overall development, UN experts* warned today.

“Cuba has been subjected to energy starvation by the United States, a condition in which the lack of fuel cripples the functioning of essential services required for a dignified life,” the experts said. “This unlawful blockade is not only disrupting daily life but also undermining the enjoyment of a wide range of human rights.”
