LONDON, February 5 .- Deputies British Government claimed their strong rejection of the extraterritorial application of U.S. blockade on Cuba, which also is exercised in Britain, said today the popular local newspaper The Guardian. Labour MP Colin
Burgos sued the Foreign Secretary, Margaret Beckett, a strong rejection of political interference by the U.S. Department of State within the United Kingdom, said PL.
The Guardian published on Monday the statements of Linda Bain, vice president of Communications for the American chain Hilton, who sought to justify the expulsion of Cuban officials from a hotel of that company in Oslo, Norway (who were invited to the tourism fair city), and confirmed that the Hilton enforces laws against the island anywhere in the world. This sparked
a wave of protests and trade union solidarity groups from Norway, against the application of extraterritorial laws and discriminatory in its territory against third countries. The source quoted
Anne Grete Skaardal, leader of the Norwegian Union of Municipal and General Employment, which promotes political action against the White House.
The Guardian revealed last month that an independent journalist Tom Fawthrope, who has written for this newspaper and The Economist, was unable to collect for an article on public health in Cuba, published in the Sydney Morning Herald. In making the claim for payment, Citibank Global explained that he withheld his paycheck under pressure from the U.S. Treasury Department Together.
Something similar happened to the U.S. journalist Ann Louise Bardach, author of "Cuba Confidential, who was not paid for their consulting work for a television documentary on the 638 attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro.
The Guardian reported that the Cuba Solidarity Campaign, based in north London, needed to buy a Dell in Texas, but was denied once known for its work, which illustrates the extent of the blockage.
By knowing these facts, the Labour MP Ian Gibson described the move as an absurdity, and recalled the vote in the UN issued by 183 nations in favor of the need to eliminate the U.S. blockade of Cuba.
