US complicity with violent acts against Cuba is strongly rejected

Declaration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba strongly rejects a new US act   complicit with terrorist violence against Cuba.

The US judicial authorities have decided to release Alexander Alazo, the individual who, on April 30, 2020, stood in the middle of the street and shot 32 rounds with a machine gun against the Cuban embassy in that country, at the moment when 7 persons stayed inside the building.

This action, perpetrated on a central avenue of Washington D.C., the US capital, against a diplomatic mission, with the stated purpose of causing damage, would qualify as a terrorist act in any country of the world. But that is not the case in the United States, much less when this is about a violent action against Cuba. The government of that country has all the while refused to recognize this act for what it is. At any one time did it have the intention to prosecute the perpetrator as a terrorist, despite the fact that the nature of his actions is explicitly typified in the US legislation against that scourge.
