Press Release from the Movement for Social Justice in Support of Cuba
Port of Spain, January 25, 2025. The Movement for Social Justice (MSJ) in Trinidad and Tobago has condemned the Executive Order issued by President Trump to once again include Cuba on the so-called list of state sponsors of terrorism.
The United States takes steps in the right direction, but the blockade remains in force.
On January 14, 2025, the government of the United States announced the following decisions:
1. Remove Cuba from the State Department list of countries that allegedly sponsor terrorism;
2. Make use of the presidential faculty to prevent US courts from taking action with regards to lawsuits that might be filed by virtue of Title III of the Helms-Burton Act; and
Cuban Government releases persons who are serving prison sentences.
As part of the close and fluid relations with the Vatican, the Government of Cuba has remained in touch with Pope Francis and his representatives and, as has occurred in the past, has kept His Holiness informed about the processes of review of the convictions and the release on imprisoned person, a practice that is common in our judicial system and has characterized the humanitarian record of the Revolution.
