Japan Demands Lifting Of US Blockade On Cuba

TOKYO, Jun 24 (BERNAMA-NNN-Prensa Latina) -- The Japan- Cuba Friendship Association has demanded U.S. President Barack Obama to lift the blockade on the Caribbean island and the return of the naval base in Guantanamo, a portion of Cuban territory illegally occupied against the will of the island.

Through a letter sent to the U.S. head of government, the solidarity group also called for a real normalization of relations between those two countries.

The United States should totally lift the economic, commercial and financial blockade unilaterally imposed on Cuba, stressed the group, and requested that the damages caused to the people for that policy for more than 50 years are also compensated.

The group also stated that the space in the naval base in Guantanamo that Washington is illegally occupying, should be returned to Cuba, according to the spirit of the international law.

1. While I agree with the notion of lifting the Cuban blockade.

I would also like to demand that Japan stop celebrating war criminals. Somewhere a choir is singing "you can't always get what you want" on the radio.
