Mexico - The 11th National Solidarity with Cuba Meeting in Mexico will open at the Workers´ University, in the historic heart of the capital,and will be attended by representatives from all over the country.
The Mexican Movement of Solidarity with Cuba (MMSC) said in a press release that the two-day meeting will analyze the new actions to be taken in support of the Cuban people against aggressions by the United States and its allies.
It will also debate a report on the situation of five Cuban political prisoners in the United States and the struggle for their release, according to the communiqué.
The MMSC pointed out that the meeting will also discuss the activities that will be taken to condemn the expulsions of 16 Cuban officials from a hotel owned by the US chain Sheraton in this capital on February 3.
That action unleashed a wave of indignation in several sectors of Mexican society, which described the expulsions as a violation of national sovereignty and an imposition of foreign laws in the country.
Another matter to be discussed is a campaign to denounce the decision announced by Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Ernesto Derbez to vote, once again, in favor of an anti-Cuba motion at the United Nations Human Rights Commission this year. |
