The World Peace Council (WPC) demands the immediate removal of Cuba from the “list of States sponsoring terrorism”. The infamous list created unilaterally and arbitrarily by the US administration, constitutes a blatant example of cynical and revengeful twist of facts, accusing Cuba of “harboring and sponsoring terrorism”, when the peoples of the world know too well that Cuba and its people are the victims of multiple acts of interference and subversive actions against the sovereign will of its people for more than 65 years.
