Worldwide condemnation
of anti-Cuba media campaign

THE Mexican chapter of the Defense of Humanity Network of Networks is circulating a petition titled "In Defense of Cuba" condemning the European Parliament for its interference in the island’s internal affairs, for violating UN nonintervention principles, and for thus joining "the criminal blockade to which the Cuban people have been subjected for the simple fact of not accepting impositions and defending the right to decide their own destiny with dignity and independence."


Cuba notes 50th anniversary of
U.S. declaration of unilateral war

HAVANA, March17.—In the face of another hostile media campaign directed by Washington, Cuba recalls today the 50th anniversary of former U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower’s executive order approving covert and terrorist action against the island. Called the Program of Covert Action against the Castro Regime, the document signed by Eisenhower gave the official green light to all kinds of illegal operations aimed at overthrowing the revolutionary government.

Families of Guantanamo detainees want the truth about "suicides"
WASHINGTON, March 18.— The families of men who died in 2006 in the prison located on the illegal Guantanamo Bay Naval Base – whose deaths the U.S. army presented as suicides – have petitioned the courts to reconsider their lawsuit, given new testimony by army officers who were on the base when those events occurred, the AFP reported on Thursday.

Europe and trade
for torture
WHILE the European Parliament sets about issuing resolutions on human rights violations, it cannot or does not want to look within, where more than one of its nations is truly a true glass house in this context. For example, European companies continue to market instruments of torture all over the world. Handcuffs that release electric shocks of up to 50,000 volts, thumb cuffs, and electroshock weapons are being utilized by police and security forces to torture people, even though Europe banned the international sale of these types of instruments in 2006.
