3,000 international figures sign manifesto
against US anti-Cuba measures
About 3,000 international
figures have signed a manifesto repudiating the US action against Cuba
in the United Nations Human Rights Commission, Cuban press said
Wednesday.
Writers, artists, scientists, academicians and other public figures from
cross America, Europe, Africa and Asia continued to join the 3,026
persons who have signed the text against Washington's anti-Cuban
maneuver, said the state-run daily Granma.
New signers included former Portuguese Prime Minister Vasco Goncalves;
Belgian theological professor of the University of Lovaina, Francois
Houtart, and German playwright Manfred Wekwerth.
The manifesto, titled "Let's Stop a New Maneuver Against Cuba,"
condemned the Washington's "manipulating and selective" action against
Cuba in the UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva to justify its
hostility against the island.
The text also denounced the pressure by the US on poor countries in
search of sufficient support to attain the approval of its resolution
against Cuba in the UN Human Rights Commission.
"The United States has no moral authority to be the judge of human
rights in Cuba," said the document, which called on member countries of
the commission to prevent the US from using the institution to
legitimize its anti-Cuban activity.
