Coronel Ramiro Ramirez, head of the Cuban security detail responsible for the protection of diplomats on the Caribbean island, explained that such an acoustic weapon, even if employed by a third party as U.S. officials have suggested, would have affected the health of other people in the general area and could not have singled out U.S. diplomats as part of a deliberate attack. Ramirez added that the sound would have surely attracted public attention.

The group traveled through 50 cities in the United States to do solidarity work and speak on the realities of the ongoing embargo, promoting the normalization of relations between the two countries.
The most recent caravan has traveled in the context of a renewed wave of U.S. aggression toward Cuba, as the new administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has rolled back several gains made in recent years toward normalization, and has heightened anti-Cuba rhetoric.
On Friday the visiting group, mostly from the United States, is paying tribute in Havana to the founder of Pastors for Peace, Reverend Lucius Walker. Reverend Walker, who died in 2010 is considered by many in both Cuba and in the United States to be a tireless fighter in defense of Cuba’s revolution and against U.S. aggression.

HAVANA.–The Executive Board of the Latin American and Caribbean Parliament (Parlatino) recently approved a resolution rejecting the U.S. President’s statements announcing plans to reinforce the economic, commercial, financial blockade imposed on Cuba by this country.
The document reiterates that the change in U.S. policy toward Cuba represents a setback in the process undertaken by the previous administration to move toward normalization of relations between the two countries.
Also emphasized was that the blockade has been repeatedly denounced by Parlatino bodies, in particular by the 25th and 31st sessions of its Assembly, as well as in 25 resolutions adopted by the UN General Assembly since 1992, and by international public opinion.
Parlatino considers the economic, commercial, financial blockade imposed on Cuba by the United States to be the greatest violation of the Cuban people’s human rights and the principal obstacle to the island’s development.
