ABOUT 600 parliamentarians from 73 countries across the globe today joined the condemnation of Cuba’s designation by the United States as a “state sponsor of terrorism” (SSOT).

In a joint letter co-ordinated by the Progressive International Organisation, the lawmakers describe the inclusion of Cuba on the arbitrary US State Department list as “cynical, cruel and a clear violation of international law.” 

The letter calls on their respective governments to “take immediate action to advocate” the removal of the designation.
