U.S. religious leaders call on Bob Menendez to end sanctions against Cuba.
The Conference of Bishops of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) sent a letter to the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Bob Menendez, asking him to eliminate the sanctions against Cuba.
In the letter, the bishops point out the damage that the economic, commercial and financial blockade has caused to the people of the island for decades.
They also refer to how the unjust inclusion of the Caribbean country on the list of countries sponsoring terrorism has influenced the lives of Cubans.
