French Organization Asks US to Lift Blockade against Cuba

HAVANA, Cuba, April 21 (acn) The French solidarity with Cuba organization, CubaSiFrance, has asked the U.S government to adopt a respectful attitude towards the Cuban people by putting an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade against the island, which it described as criminal and unjustifiable.

A communiqué issued by the organization on Monday said Washington should pay more attention to the UN's resolutions that have systematically requested the end of the blockade kept against the island for nearly five decades.

In addition, the document points to the illegal occupation of Guantanamo Bay, where the U.S government has kept a naval base against the will of the Cuban people, says a report by PL from Paris.

In relation to the human rights issue, the French organization said Cubans cannot be lectured on how to exercise human rights because since the triumph of the Revolution important aspects like education, health and general cultural values have been guaranteed for all the people.
