HAVANA, Cuba, (acn) Once more, Cuba denounced on Tuesday at the United Nations the radio and television attacks it’s being the victim of on the part of the United States, in open violation of International Law.

The island’s permanent representative before the international body, Pedro Nuñez, addressed the critic while speaking during a debate at the General Assembly’s Information Committee, the Prensa Latina news agency reports.

The diplomat affirmed that these illegal transmissions against Cuba do not respect objectivity and are not in accordance with the truth, falsify and distort information, are fabricated with premeditation, and incite to destructive hatred.

A month ago, underlined the official, the Radio Regulations Board of the International Telecommunications Union reiterated that these broadcasts cause prejudicial interference to Cuban stations.

He stressed that, in February, radio stations located in US territory broadcast 2,185 hours of illegal transmissions each week.

According to the Cuban magazine La Jiribilla, from 231 to 258 hours of a programming that has nothing to do with balanced and objective information are generated every day.

Nuñez pointed out that the US Congress approves a budget of over 30 million dollars of federal funds annually for actions of this kind against the Caribbean island.

Likewise, the Cuban representative underlined that the kind of information offered to the Cuban people is a sovereign decision of the island and not of those who, from the US administration, conspire with terrorist elements in their plans against the Revolution.

The ambassador emphasized that the large information control centers impose lie, manipulate history, legitimize discrimination and offend the freedom of expression.
