Argentine Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, Nobel Peace laureate, has added his voice in support of the initiative by the Mexican and Brazilian chapters of the network ‘In Defense of Humanity’ in defense of the Cuban nation and people, which are being the victims of a slander campaign orchestrated by the United States and its European allies.

Internationally acknowledged for his work in the promotion of human rights, Pérez Esquivel criticized "the media of non-communication for seeking to impose a conditioned and restricted view in line with its political interests," while "remaining silent over Cuba’s solidarity with peoples most in need, including Haiti, and the advances of the Cuban people and the infamous U.S. blockade."

The call "In Defense of Cuba" was likewise signed yesterday by Bill Martínez, an eminent U.S. jurist and artistic events’

organizer who, in recent years, has headed up a program for the normalization of cultural relations between the United States and Cuba, restricted by Washington’s policy of hostility toward the Caribbean island nation.
