ICAP message to the World Movement of Solidarity with Cuba in the time of Covid19 #BlockadeNoSolidarityYes
With deep humanistic conviction, the government and people of Cuba offer the world, once again, the example of militant Solidarity at a time when the planet is facing the global pandemic of the new Coronavirus Sars Cov-2, Covid-19, which has already claimed the lives of more than 70 thousand people in the world in a very short time.
Statement Associations of Cuban Residents in Canada against the blockade
The Associations of Cuban Residents in Canada join our voice to the worldwide demand for the United States to immediately lift the illegal blockade that it unilaterally imposes on Cuba since 1962. This inhumane blockade not only affects our families and friends on the island, making their lives miserable but also hampers the efforts of Cubans who live abroad to help them, given its extraterritorial implementation.
