HAVANA, Cuba, April 29 (acn) A campaign to demand the end of the economic blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba for nearly half a century began today in New Zealand organized by members of a solidarity movement with the Caribbean island.
New Zealand's groups of friendship with the Cuban people are collecting signatures across the country to be attached to a letter that will be sent to US President Barack Obama, to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and to Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi, reported Prensa Latina.
The document notes that the blockade is an economic war unleashed against Cuba more than 40 years ago in retaliation for the triumph of the Revolution and the achievement of real independence for the island.
It also denounces that Washington insists on keeping this measure, described as unjust and genocidal, in spite of the general rejection by the international community.
This universal feeling has been expressed in all United Nations general assemblies since 1992, when it adopted a resolution about the consequences of the blockade on the Cuban people and economy and demanding its end.
In addition, it says the US should respect Cuban independence and sovereignty and the right of its people to decide their own political system.
