Vigil from the United States to demand the end of the blockade

Havana, Dec 21 (RHC) Solidarity organizations and friends of Cuba will go to the city of Miami, Florida, to participate in a vigil demanding that U.S. President Joe Biden end coercive measures against the island.

Gathered at the international airport of that city, from 18:30 to 20:30 local time, the activists will urge the end of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed for more than six decades by Washington, which is considered a massive violation of human rights of the Cuban people.

According to the coordinator of the solidarity project Puentes de Amor, Carlos Lazo, the initiative will demand the White House to speed up the process of family reunification at its embassy in Havana, boost the process of sending remittances to relatives in the Caribbean nation, and promote broad cultural and scientific cooperation between the two countries.

Participants will also urge the immediate elimination of all measures that hinder the flow of food, medical supplies, and other basic resources to Cuba, as well as lifting the limits imposed on the right to travel freely to the island territory to all citizens and residents on northern soil.

In addition, those present will call for the exclusion of the Caribbean country from the list of alleged countries sponsoring terrorism, which reinforces the impact of the blockade on the island, as well as the difficulties for international trade and financial operations.

"Our objective is to mobilize those who share these opinions to demonstrate that the true sentiment of the majority of South Florida residents is to build Bridges of Love with the Cuban people," Lazo insisted.

This day's activity is part of others that will take place during December in various parts of the world to advocate for the normalization of relations between the two countries and the cessation of hostilities from this northern country. (Source: Prensa Latina)
