The Russian social movement Venceremos has joined the global solidarity campaign for an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade that the United States has imposed on Cuba for more than five decades.
As every fifth day of the month in the traditional international campaign for the release of the five Cubans who were held in US prisons for fighting terrorism and were finally released in December 2014, Venceremos activists gathered in front of the US embassy in Moscow to demand the end to the blockade and the aggressions against Latin American peoples.
We join the International Committee for Peace, Justice and Dignity of peoples in the actions against this unjust policy, says an appeal to the US government, delivered to the embassy during a solidarity rally.
Activists claim to be convinced that without the lifting of all obstacles to economic, commercial and financial ties, there cannot be a full normalization of US-Cuban relations.
They recall that in the course of over 20 years, the international community, almost unanimously, has condemned the blockade on Cuba, a sovereign State, during the voting at the United Nations General Assembly and in other forums, the text points out.
Venceremos used the solidarity event with Cuba, held on a cold and rainy day, to ratify the right of Latin America and Caribbean peoples to sovereignty, self-determination and peace, as well as non-interference in their internal affairs.
The campaign "Five Days for the Cuban Five" still continues in Russia, now aimed at demanding an end to the blockade on Cuba, the closure of the illegal prison in Guantanamo and the return of that Cuban territory illegally occupied by the United States.
