(CNS News) -- A full-page ad placed in the
New York Times on July 23 by the left-wing Code Pink organization, and signed by numerous left-wing luminaries, was denounced by the Center for a Free Cuba as "siding with the repressive dictatorship of Cuba’s abuses against the people of Cuba."
The ad, headlined "Let Cuba Live," is an open letter to Democratic President Joe Biden calling on him to rescind the "coercive measures" put on Communist Cuba by the Trump administration. It also calls for returning to the "opening" to Cuba started by President Barack Obama and perhaps ending the U.S. embargo against the island.
