Hundreds of thousands of Cubans are expected to take to the streets on
Friday in a huge march in front of the US Interest Section in Havana to protest
the recently announced sanctions against the Cuban revolution by the Bush
administration. The demonstration will take place along the Havana seawall drive
and will end in front of the US Interest Section, according to an official call
in Cuban media. Cuban authorities have pointed out that the sanctions stem from
hatred, frustration and fallacy, accumulated in 45 years of permanent
interference by US administrations. The Bush measures are a synthesis of the
fascistic and inhumane concepts promoted by the US ultra rightwing party in
power, illustrated by the violations, torture, violence and humiliation
practiced by the US Army against the Iraqi people and prisoners since the
occupation of the country. The Cuban people will not be humiliated, insulted or
trampled upon and will not hand over its achievements to a rapacious aggressor
that has been trying to suffocate the country with hunger and disease for more
than four decades, the statement underlines. The Bush administration has
proposed to spend more than 60 million dollars to bombard the Island with radio
and TV broadcasts with disinformation in order to feed subversion. Although it
failed before, Washington is again trying to apply the sections of the 1997
Helms-Burton Act that allow judging citizens from third countries in US courts
for doing business with Cuba and refusing US visas to foreigners with
investments in Cuba.\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Havana.- ","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2004\/05\/110234.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
