The use of defamation by U.S
journalists paid to conceal the truth about the case
of the Cuban Five, as part of unrelenting U.S
aggression towards Cuba, was denounced May 5, at the
Parliamentary public hearing entitled: The Media War
and Subversion Against Cuba, held by the
International Relations Commission of the National
Assembly of People's Power.
|
Hearing: Inspired by the Cuban Five’s
example, the Cuban National Assembly
denounced manipulations by U.S. press
during the hearing. |
Presiding during the hearing was
Esteban Lazo Hernández, member of the Communist
Party of Cuba Central Committee and President of the
National Assembly. Cuban hero Fernando González
Llort, representatives, specialists, social net
workers, journalists and other guests were also in
attendance.
Fernando González emphasized that
just as the people value the Five, their actions
were an expression of the ideas which all Cubans
hold. "There is a speech by Army General Raúl
Castro, in which he stated that the Five are not an
anomaly, and it is true, we were in particular
circumstances and we did exactly what 11 million
Cubans would have done."
As part of International Relations Commission’s
closing statement, Alberto Núñez, denounced the
recent ZunZuneo subversion operation, directed
specifically towards young Cubans, and other ongoing
actions, from the creation of Radio Martí and TV
Martí, misnamed after the Cuban national hero, and
the inclusion of Cuba on the list of countries
sponsoring terrorism, to the crude defamation
campaign against the Cuban Five.
Also as part of the declaration,
Nuñez expressed appreciation to world parliaments
and parliamentary friendship groups with Cuba for
their condemnation of the criminal policy which
violates Cuban sovereignty, U.S. law, and
International Union of Telecommunications
regulations.
