Havana, October 27 (RHC)-- As part of the closing ceremony of the Camilo-Che day, dedicated to pay tribute to these two great figures of the Cuban independence ideology, the Ministry of Justice condemned on Friday the cruel extermination of the people of Palestine in the Gaza Strip by the Israeli government.
The condemnation emphasizes that the indiscriminate attacks have caused the death of more than five thousand people, among them two thousand children, and injured another 15 thousand, while the health system collapses and there is a lack of water, food, gas and electricity, among other supplies that aggravate the humanitarian situation.
The Ministry of Justice also pronounced itself against the indiscriminate attack against hospitals and schools which has claimed the lives of numerous civilians and forced a large part of a population of more than two million inhabitants to emigrate to neighboring countries, abandoning everything that tied them to the land where they were born.
In view of this crime against humanity, the Ministry of Justice endorses the pronouncements of the Cuban Revolution in support of the causes of the brother country, advocates the immediate cessation of the extermination actions and calls for the convening of a negotiating table to settle this conflict in the light of the United Nations resolutions.
It also joins the Cuban Government's statement to facilitate the entry of urgent humanitarian aid to alleviate the famine and the lack of medicines, as well as to seek a peaceful solution leading to the creation of the Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
During the event, reference was also made to how the U.S. government is being called upon by the Miami mafia to destroy the Cuban Revolution with identical criminal actions to those that occurred in the Gaza Strip, which is why it is necessary to raise vigilance once again and prepare to enforce Che's pronouncement that "to the enemy, not even a little bit like that, nothing."
That is why the Ministry of Justice system, the statement affirms, ratifies its militant solidarity with the Palestinian people and assures to keep alive the example of Camilo and Che.
Once the heartfelt act was concluded, the workers of the Ministry of Justice left to the historic Revolution Square from where they marched to the Havana Malecon to pay the traditional tribute to the hero of Yaguajay and Lord of the Vanguard.
