U.S. aid group visits Cuba, defying law

Members of an American humanitarian aid group arrived in Cuba Saturday in defiance of U.S. law and wearing T-shirts calling for ''regime change'' in the United States.

About 120 volunteers with Pastors for Peace flew in from Tampico, Mexico, where they had loaded a caravan of 12 vehicles filled with goods including medicine, computers and bicycles onto boats bound for Cuba -- all in violation of a long-running U.S. trade embargo.

''We know in our hearts and in our heads . . . that the blockade is immoral, is illegal, is illogical and is unjust,'' said the Rev. Lucius Walker, a Baptist minister from New Jersey who founded Pastors for Peace.

The relief trip marked the 14th straight year that Pastors for Peace has sought to bring supplies to Cuba in spite of the embargo. The group violates the embargo by refusing to apply for documentation to export to Cuba and by using Mexico to bypass U.S. restrictions to the island.

Officials at the border handed out fliers warning that only three of the group's members were authorized to travel to Cuba and the rest were subject to prosecution leading to jail time or fines if they went to the island.
