President of the Guyana Cuba Solidarity Movement (GCSM) Haleem Khan, recently visited Cuba where he held discussions with President of the Cuban Institute for Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) Kenia Serrano.
The ICAP President used the opportunity to update Mr. Khan on the situation in Cuba generally and shared her plans developed by the solidarity organizations for the coming year.
Mr. Khan reiterated his organization’s condemnation of both the unjust imprisonment of the Five Cuban Heroes and the inhumane, unilateral US blockade of Cuba.
The Guyanese solidarity president’s stay was not limited to meetings, as he also found time to participate in the posting of stickers in the streets of Havana calling for the release of the anti-terrorist Cuban fighters.
Khan also said that he joined the International Committee to Free the Cuban Five in calling for the release of the anti-terrorist Cuban fighters who have been in prison in the US for 15 years.
Consider, for a moment, what would happen if American intelligence agents on the ground in a foreign country uncovered a major terrorist plot, with enough time to prevent it, he said. And then consider how Americans would react if authorities in that country, rather than cooperate with us, arrested and imprisoned the U.S. agents for operating on their soil.
Khan recalled what has become known as the Cuban Disaster—the blowing up of a Cuban aircraft with 73 people on board. Eleven Guyanese were among those killed. The Guyanese killed in the crash were Jacqueline Williams, Rawle Thomas, Ann Nelson, Sabrina Harripaul, Rita Thomas, Margaret Bradshaw, Violet Thomas, Raymond Persaud, Harold Norton, Gordon Sobha and Seshnarine Kumar.
Khan said that the same people who stopped their government from waging war on Syria also had the power to stop Cuba’s victimization.
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
