600 politicians from across the globe slam US for listing Cuba as ‘state sponsor of terrorism’
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.
