Cuba Puerto Rico Solidarity Committee

 

San Juan, Oct 18 (RHC) Demonstrators convened by the Cuba Solidarity Committee (CSC) in Puerto Rico demanded on Monday in front of the federal building in San Juan, the end of the U.S. blockade against the largest of the Antilles.

 

The president of the Cuba Solidarity Committee, Milagros Rivera, said that the protest had the dual purpose of denouncing the U.S. policy against the Cuban people and the Revolution while repudiating the repression of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

 

She recalled that on the 17th of every month, protests are held in various countries around the world in solidarity with Cuba, for the United States to put an end to "the criminal blockade it has maintained for 61 years against that sister nation".

 

Rivera pointed out that since the resumption this year of the Juan Rius Rivera Brigade's travels, its members have been harassed by FBI agents in their homes.

 

Along with the slogans against the blockade, the demonstrators made posters denouncing political persecution in Puerto Rico, in addition to performing songs in homage to Fidel Castro and Che Guevara.

 

Members of various organizations, as well as figures such as former political prisoner Oscar López Rivera, feminist Josefina Pantoja, and union leader Eva Ayala, participated in the protest. (Source: PL)
