U.S. Mean Campaign Against Cuba Over its Human Rights is Doomed to Failure

 

Recently, the U.S. is getting more aggressive in its human rights campaign against Cuba.

On June 16, the Department of State took steps to impose visa restrictions on five Cuban officials pursuant to presidential proclamation 5377. And on July 3, the Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs called on the international society to “denounce the human rights violation by the Cuban government”.

Against this backdrop, the U.S. State Department issued another press statement on July 9 whereby it has denied U.S. entry visa to 28 high- ranking officials of the Communist Party of Cuba and state-run press bodies.

The U.S. is hell-bent on putting pressure upon Cuba over the “human rights issue” at this point of time when it is exactly one year since “July 11 incident” occurred under the manipulation of the U.S. Its sinister intention is to topple down the socialist system in Cuba by putting pressure on this country which is now at a hard time due to sanctions, blockade and health crisis.

Miguel Diaz-Canel, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic of Cuba, while revealing the injustice and meanness of the U.S., expressed firm will that the Cuban people will beat off the offensive launched by imperialism.

Bruno Rodriguez, Cuban Foreign Minister also condemned the U.S. for its measures against Cuba, saying this constitutes a flagrant breach of the international law and the UN Charter.

Then does the U.S. have any basic face or qualification to pick on the “human rights issue” of Cuba?

During the last 6 years, over 6,400 people were shot dead by the police who are supposed to maintain public security and protect human rights.

It is said that the children’s death toll in the gun-related crimes has reached to 6,300 from January 2022 to date.

Even the sacred campus serves as a place for modern “slave trade” in the U.S. where white students are putting up a black student for “slave” auction.

It is none other than the U.S. which is the mastermind behind the massacre of 800,000-odd civilians and the generation of more than 38 million refugees in many parts of the world under the pretext of “counter- terrorism”.

The U.S. is now being criticized as the kingpin of the human rights violations. We scathingly condemn it for interfering in the internal affairs of a sovereign state over “human rights issue”.

The Cuban people are safeguarding the principle of independence against imperialism and the principle of socialism while resolutely smashing the U.S. “human rights” campaign against Cuba to interfere in its internal affairs. We extend our invariable support, encouragement and solidarity to the Cuban people in their struggle.

The U.S. mean campaign against Cuba over its human rights is doomed to failure.
