Statement of the Embassy of Cuba to Bahamas

The Embassy of the Republic of Cuba to the Commonwealth of The Bahamas strongly condemns the despicable accusation against Army General Raúl Castro Ruz, leader of the Cuban Revolution, put forward by the United States Department of Justice, announced on May 20 and proclaimed for several weeks. This constitutes yet another political provocation, entirely lacking legal basis and aimed at constructing arguments to justify a policy of greater confrontation against the Cuban nation.
