In a communiqué, the committee recalls that it was in February 1962 when Washington made this policy against the Cuban Revolution official.

The group stresses that the blockade started with restrictions that affected the marketing of medicines and food and has extended to practically all aspects of Cubans’ life.

The press release emphasizes that among the victims of such a practice are “children, the elderly, and a people who have committed the sin of not bowing down in the eyes of the empire.”

The Committed added that Washington’s blockade has been getting worse, as happened during the Covid-19 pandemic, and it is part of the arsenal of attacks that includes invasions and aggression against Cuba.

The blockade against Cuba is a crime against humanity and must cease, concludes the statement, which salutes “all the peoples in the world who organize to make their rejection clear.” jg/lam/ool
