Presidents and directors of the Friendship Association, the José Martí Latin American Solidarity Group and the Union of Palestinian Doctors and Pharmacists in Lebanon, supported the call of Casa de las Américas to back up the open letter from writer and journalist Ignacio Ramonet to President Joe Biden.
The head of the Palestinian National Committee to combat addiction and the Representative of the Palestinian Cuban Friendship Association also joined the call of the institution, endorsing solidarity with the people of Cuba.
The escalation of the blockade measures to a qualitatively more harmful and inhuman dimension is aggravated by the permanence of Cuba on the State Department’s SSOT list said the Cuban embassy, which added that this inclusion has an undeniable economic connotation, since US regulatory agencies rigorously apply the sanctions that adds to the complex framework of the blockade against Cuba.
The Cuban embassy in Beirut denounced the damage caused to the Cuban people as a result of contract closures, loss of relationships with banking entities, delays in the sending and receiving of funds, food, medicines, fuel, materials and parts.
The embassy emphasized that Washington continues to ignore the position of the international community and the provisions of successive resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly, which condemn the lifting of the blockade against Cuba, which was reinforced by the administration of Donald Trump and is maintained by Joe Biden’s.
