Members of the Network of Intellectuals, Artists, and Social Movements in Defense of Humanity (REDH) address the press in Havana.

Havana, June 7 (RHC)-- The Network of Intellectuals, Artists, and Social Movements in Defense of Humanity (REDH) is joining the international movement against the U.S. blockade and its policy of subversion against Cuba.

In statements to Prensa Latina news agency, the coordinator of the Caribbean nation, José Ernesto Nováez, described the rejection of the blockade as a priority issue.

A recent press release indicates that the Network will submit to the United Nations General Assembly more than five thousand signatures collected worldwide with that objective, said Nováez.

The document includes prestigious personalities such as Noam Chomsky, political figures such as Rafael Correa and Luis Inácio Lula da Silva and intellectuals such as Elena Poniatowska.

The initiative demonstrates that the cause of the blockade is a global one with sustained support', added the executive.

On June 23, for the 29th time, the UN General Assembly will vote a Cuba-sponsored resolution demanding the lifting of the US blockade, which has sought since February 3, 1962, to starve the Cuban people into submission.

Since 1992 , the United Nations General Assembly has passed a resolution every year condemning the ongoing impact of the hostile measure, and declaring it a violation of the UN Charter and of International Law.
