For the second time in my lifetime, masses of Cuban people publicly protested against the Government – in Cuba.
The first time in 1994, protestors called for the freedom to leave Cuba. Castro
allowed them.
This time, they are calling for freedom from dictatorship. The Cuban Government’s response was disturbingly violent.
The demonstrations have been blamed on the US trade embargo. This is likely true.
I join with the member countries of the United Nations, in supporting the end of the US trade embargo against Cuba.

For the second time in my lifetime, masses of Cuban people publicly protested against the Government – in Cuba. The first time in 1994, protestors called for the freedom to leave Cuba. Castro allowed them. This time, they are calling for freedom from dictatorship. The Cuban Government’s response was disturbingly violent.
The demonstrations have been blamed on the US trade embargo. This is likely true. I join with the member countries of the United Nations, in supporting the end of the US trade embargo against Cuba.
