Anti-Cuba Campaign Condemned in Latin American Countries

CUBA, April 27, 2010. Friends of Cuba living in Latin America ratify their support for the island and denounce the media campaign orchestrated by the United States and its allies.

During a visit to Cuba’s ambassador to Peru, Luis Delfin Perez, over one hundred popular leaders from that nation condemned the anti-Cuban campaign, the Prensa Latina news agency reports on Monday.

The diplomat expressed his appreciation for their support, and said that there are relations of solidarity between the two peoples, also expressed in a moment when a new offensive by the enemies of the Revolution has been launched against the island, and referred to the interest shown in this regard by several Peruvian personalities.

He also met with representatives of the Peru-Cuba Friendship Center and of Peruvian progressive parties, who said they will intensify their activities to spread the truth about Cuba in the face of this media campaign against it.

The Center carries out new activities of denunciation on the situation of the five Cuban antiterrorists unfairly incarcerated in the US, and in demand of their release from prison.

The visitors announced the celebration of the 11th Solidarity-with-Cuba Meeting, to be held in October.

Meanwhile, in Chile, a group of physicians trained at Havana’s Latin American Medical School also denounced this new fallacy of the United States, and asked their government to declare it self to be against the economic blockade imposed by the US on Cuba for over 40 years now.

They said that they lived in the Caribbean island and suffered along with Cubans the impact of the policy of the White House, and expressed that in spite the blockade Cuba cooperates with dozens of countries, including theirs, where over 70 Cuban voluntary workers are offering their services.

They thanked the Cuban people and pointed out that today they’re working at doctors’ offices and hospitals, taking care of the most vulnerable part of the population.

Among the personalities that took part in the declaration was Carmen Paz Allende, the daughter of late President Salvador Allende. (Cubaminrex- RHC)
