Panama Solidarity Decries Blockade of Cuba
Denunciations of the US blockade on Cuba top the agenda of the tenth Solidarity with Cuba Meeting Saturday in Panama, as part of actions to support the island''s cause. Sources from the organizing committee of solidarity with Cuba told Prensa Latina the commissions holding sessions at the University of Panama will focus on that matter.
A related resolution is expected to be signed at the end of the meeting, which is attended by delegates from several Panamanian provinces.
Miguel Angel Candanedo, honorary president of the organizing committee, warned on the importance to denounce the blockade as long as that infamous imperialist action remains.
In the meantime, Cuban ambassador in Panama Reinaldo Calviac recalled that the Washington policy towards Havana is still intact.
The US restrictive measures have left about 96 billion dollars in losses, along with attempts to isolate Cuba from the rest of the peoples from America and the world, the diplomat stressed.
The case of the five Cuban anti-terrorist unfairly imprisoned in US jails will also center today's meeting.
