This is what the “Raíces Mambisas” Association of Cuban Residents in Peru said in a statement that rejected the measure and pointed out that it was the seventh aggression with increasingly serious decisions against Cuba.

The text demanded the end of all arbitrary and illegal actions by the Government of the United States that harm the Cuban people so much and the right to their sovereignty.

It reviewed the historic international solidarity of the Cuban medical brigades, which began in 1963 with their first mission in Algeria and have worked in Peru since 1970, in the face of earthquakes and epidemics.

“Our dignified and heroic ‘White Coats’ have been present in countries that need support and hope of life where the right to health never existed before,” said the statement from the Cuban migrants, which also highlighted the training of thousands of Latin American doctors who return to serve their people.

It pointed out that for their altruistic action, the Cuban medical brigades have deserved the recognition of the World Health Organization and the Pan American Health Organization.

It noted the prohibition by the US Government to exchanges between US and Cuban scientists, creators of the vaccines against Covid-19 that protected millions of Cubans from the disease.

“We denounce before the world the arbitrary and illegal measures imposed on Cuba by the United States and demand that the permanent aggression by the current US administration that harm the Cuban people so much be stopped,” the “Raíces Mambisas” Association of Cuban Residents in Peru added.
