Colombo, Jan 30. - The digital newspaper Lanka Leader today publishes the condemnation of the Cuban president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, to the decision of Washington to use the Guantanamo naval base to imprison migrants expelled from the United States.
In an act of barbarism, the new government of the United States announces new arrests at the Guantanamo Naval Base, located in illegally occupied Cuban territory. The migrants are being forcibly deported to a prison known for torture and illegal detentions, the president said on platform X and reported the Sri Lankan newspaper.
The newspaper also referred to the statements of the Cuban foreign minister, Bruno Rodríguez, who, in addition to rejecting the US measure, said that sending migrants to a region where the United States has created centers of torture and indefinite detention is an affront to humanity and international law.
In a statement, the Cuban Foreign Ministry described the US decision as a demonstration of brutality, through which the Donald Trump government acts to supposedly correct problems created by the economic and social conditions of the northern country, the government's own management and its foreign policy.
It considered that many of the people that the United States is expelling or intends to expel are victims of the government's own plundering policies and cover labor needs that have historically been needed in agriculture, construction, industry, services and various sectors of the US economy.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Minrex) specified that migrants are also the result of facilities at the border to enter the country, of politically motivated selective norms, which welcome them as refugees and, also, of the socioeconomic damage caused by unilateral coercive measures.
It recalled that an important part contributes to the US economy; they have jobs, have homes, have created families and have planned their respective lives in that nation.
The Minrex denounced that the territory, where the Trump government proposes to send the migrants, does not belong to the United States, since it is a portion of the eastern province of Guantánamo, which remains militarily occupied illegally and against the will of the island. (Text and photo: PL)
