A PETITION calling for the Nobel Peace Prize to be awarded to Cuban medical workers combating coronavirus around the world has been launched by the Cuba Solidarity Campaign (CSC).
Initiated at an online meeting last night, the petition had attracted nearly 3,000 signatures as the Morning Star went to press.
“Thousands of Cuban doctors, nurses and technicians have responded to overseas requests for help by volunteering as part of the island’s Henry Reeve International Medical Brigade,” it declares.
