The Network of Intellectuals, Artists, and Social Movements (REDH) in Defense of Humanity has denounced in a statement the military threats made by the Donald Trump administration against Cuba, as well as the new sanctions that deepen the imperialist blockade.
While humanity cries out for peace, cooperation, and respect for International Law, “the Trump administration” responds with the logic of state terrorism: the strengthening of the criminal economic, commercial, and financial blockade, and the persecution of any financial transaction that dares to approach the island, the statement affirmed.
The international network asserted that this does not respond to any political logic, but rather to the “coercive action of an imperial power that resorts to force to try to nullify the sovereignty and dignity of a people.”
The REDH expressed its full support for the Government and people of Cuba, “recognizing their inalienable right to self-determination and to build their own destiny without external interference.”
The statement denounced that attempts to break the will of an entire country through hunger and economic strangulation are not only immoral, but “doomed to failure in the face of the dignity, resistance, and legacy of struggle of its heroes and martyrs.”
The REDH made an urgent appeal to all intellectuals, academics, artists, the international community, governments, social movements, and the peoples of the world to speak out and unite in support of Cuba.
It also demanded “the immediate and unconditional end to the criminal and genocidal economic, commercial, and financial blockade,” and the elimination of these new sanctions that violate the Charter of the United Nations.
Finally, it emphasized that solidarity among peoples will be stronger than the hatred and ambition of the empire.
“Cuba is not alone! Long live the dignity of the people!” emphasized the REDH.
