The New Communist Party of Yugoslavia give full support to the struggle taken forward by the Cuban people for the liberation of its Cuban Five Heroes, who are imprisoned in the USA jails for the last 13 years due to their struggle against terrorism.
After the popular revolution that overthrew the U.S.-backed dictatorship of Batista in 1959, the U.S. government has resorted to invasion, nuclear threats, biological and chemical attacks, assassination attempts and murders, C.I.A. financed and organized “opposition,” and economic destabilization.
As a fact of international law, which recognizes the rights of states to defend their sovereignty, Cuba is exercising its legal right and responsibility to defend and protect its people against foreign government subversion, terrorism, and other forms of U.S. aggression.
In light of these developments, and understanding the real dangers that Cuba faces from the U.S. government:
1) We demand that the Obama Administration cease and desist from the current campaign of attacks on the Cuban people and government.
2) We call on the U.S. government to end its blockade against Cuba, to lift restrictions on travel, and to end its ongoing multi-faceted war against the Cuban government.
3) We further call upon the Obama Administration to free the five Cubans who are imprisoned in the U.S. for trying to stop Miami-based terrorism against their people.
