The Victoria de Girón brigade, from the Finland-Cuba Friendship Association, visits Las Tunas once more. Its members expressed their rejection to the Helms-Burton Act.
The United States has no authority to judge Cuba´s performance against trafficking in persons
Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
On June 20, 2019, the US State Department added Cuba to the lowest tier in its 2019 Trafficking in Persons Report. The Report claims that “Cuba does not fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so.”
This ranking has conceivably nothing to do with Cuba’s true performance in actively combating trafficking in persons and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs absolutely rejects it for being a complete slander.
