World Rejection of US Cuba Blockade on the Rise

Havana, 17 Oct (acn) Organizations from all over the world are raising 
their voices I rejection of the economic blockade of the United States 
against Cuba that has been maintained for nearly five decades.

In Kiev, the Central Committee of Ukraine's Communist Party emphasized 
its stance against the US economic blockade of Cuba by issuing a 
declaration demanding the end of Washington's hostile policy. The 
declaration will be discussed on October 30 at the UN General Assembly.

The document notes that the American government's practices of state 
terrorism have meant loses of $89 billion to the Cuban people, while 
acts of sabotage have cost the lives of more that 3,000 citizens on the 
island, says a PL report.

Meanwhile, Uruguay's Housing Cooperative Federation for Mutual Help 
also demanded the lifting of the blockade. The Housing Cooperative 
Federation is one of the largest social organizations in Uruguay.

On behalf of all of the more than 400-member cooperatives making up the 
Federation, the organization made public a statement in which it 
expressed its concern for the harm caused to the island by Washington's 
hostile measures.

The statement notes that the American blockade against Cuba is aimed at 
bringing down Cuban society through hunger, which is a violation of 
International Law and the UN Charter.
