Georgetown. April 18, 2019. The Guyana Cuba Solidarity Movement (GCSM) has denounced actions by the United States of America to reinstate limits on remittances that Cuban residents in the U.S. send to their families and friends while restricting travel.
President of the GCSM Halim Khan said that the US recently further restricted travel by U.S. citizens to Cuba, and imposed additional financial sanctions.
“The Revolutionary Government rejects, in the strongest terms possible, the decision to now allow action to be taken in U.S. courts against Cuban and foreign entities, and to aggravate impediments to entering the US faced by leaders and families of companies that legitimately invest in Cuba, in properties that were nationalized,” Khan said.

Revolutionary Government Declaration
Today, April 17, is the anniversary of the launching of the United State’s 1961 military invasion at Playa Girón. (Bay of Pigs) The Cuban people’s resolute response in defense of the Revolution and socialism, within only 72 hours, produced the first military defeat of imperialism in America.
Strangely, the date was chosen by the current U.S. government to announce new aggressive measures against Cuba and to reinforce their implementation of the Monroe Doctrine.
The Revolutionary Government rejects, in the strongest terms possible, the decision to now allow action to be taken in U.S. courts against Cuban and foreign entities, and to aggravate impediments to entering the United States faced by leaders and families of companies that legitimately invest in Cuba, in properties that were nationalized. These are actions established in the Helms-Burton Ac,t which was denounced long ago by the international community, and which the Cuban nation has repudiated since its promulgation and implementation in 1996, with the fundamental goal of imposing colonial tutelage on our country.
