NCPN statement on placing Cuba on the list of 'countries sponsoring terrorism'

The NCPN condemns the decision of the US government to keep Cuba on the List of countries that “sponsor terrorism”.

Although Cuba does not appear on the current list of countries that “do not fully cooperate with US counter-terrorism efforts in the calendar year 2023” contained in US Secretary of State Blinken’s report to Congress, Cuba remains on the existing US list of states that sponsor terrorism. While Cuba does not support terrorism in any way but is itself a victim of economic and other terrorism organised by the United States.

The US decision to place and then to keep Cuba serves as a pretext for the adoption of measures that greatly affect the Cuban people, including Cubans residing abroad and that are added to those already existing due to the economic, commercial and financial blockade.

We demand the exclusion of Cuba from the harmful list of countries “which sponsor terrorism” and to put an end to the measures that are part of the blockade.

Cuba is not alone!

Solidarity with socialist Cuba!
