#OFF THE LIST
REMOVE CUBA FROM THE US STATE SPONSORS OF TERRORISM LIST
Your Messages
Together with 58 of my parliamentary colleagues I signed Early Day Motion 1550 which supports the normalisation of relations between the US and Cuba by removing the island from the ‘state sponsors of terrorism’ list. I urge the US to accept the result of the vote in the UN General Assembly calling for an end to the unjustifiable long running economic and trade blockade and sanctions against Cuba that is causing such unnecessary hardships to the Cuban people. Now is the time to seize the opportunity to do the right thing and recognise the considered view of overwhelming majority of the international community in seeking to lift the blockade of Cuba with immediate effect.
Grahame Morris, MP for Easington (United Kingdom)
The USA has the temerity to accuse Cuba of terrorism... using that to tighten the blockade screws even further, and overriding the very slight moves made by Obama. What was the reason? Because there were ELN guerrillas in Havana. But why were they there? For peace talks with the Colombian government, supported by the Cuban and Norwegian governments. You really couldn’t make it up.
Kevin Courtney, Chair of Cuba Solidarity Campaign (United Kingdom)
It would be more accurate to describe Cuba as a state sponsor of peace given its historic role in hosting peace talks.
Paula Barker, MP for Liverpool Riverside (United Kingdom)
Mick Lynch, RMT General Secretary (United Kingdom)
There is no justification for keeping Cuba on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. I hope the US Government can do the right thing – take Cuba off the list, end the illegal blockade and move towards peace and cooperation.
Mick Whelan, ASLEF General Secretary (United Kingdom)
As Colombian President Gustavo Petro pointed out, Cuba’s placement on this list for its role in hosting Colombia’s peace talks is a profound injustice. I urge the United States to take Cuba off the list.
Kenny MacAskill, MP for East Lothian (United Kingdom)
Daniel Kebede, NEU General Secretary (United Kingdom)

The continued US unilateral designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism only serves to justify and extend the illegal and debilitating US blockade of Cuba. It is shameful that Cuba, which has played such a significant role in bringing peace to one of the region’s most troubled countries, and itself has been the victim of a number of acts of terrorism, should be placed on such a list.
Rob Miller, Director Cuba Solidarity Campaign (United Kingdom)
Cuba has suffered over sixty years of punishment for daring to make this beautiful country and the lives of its citizens better - to end poverty and to educate. It’s time for this injustice to end; it’s immoral, unjust and pathetic. End the blockade!
Andrew Hudd, ASLEF Vice President (United Kingdom)
There are no grounds for considering Cuba a terrorist state, or one sponsoring terrorism. There are many states who do fall into this category, but Cuba is not one of them. I write on behalf of the London Region of UNISON, Britain's largest Trade Union.
Phil Thompson, UNISON London Region (United Kingdom)
Steve Jones CWU NEC (United Kingdom)
The presence of Cuba on the SSOT list is costing lives and preventing Cuba from effectively trading with other nations. There is no evidence to support their presence on this list and in the names of justice and humanity, Cuba should be removed from the list.
Allan Eldred, CWU NEC (United Kingdom)
Steve Turner, Assistant General Secretary of Unite the Union (United Kingdom)
As a Cuban British I witnessed the pain and shortness of my family in Cuba. The US foreign policy toward Cuba is inhumane and we also suffered the financial restrictions of the unilateral inclusion of Cuba in the list of countries sponsoring terrorism, which unable us sending money to Cuba. The pressure is such that stimulate people leaving the country as I am myself part of the brain drain triggered by US blockade. Living here for more than 30 years made me very bitter towards your country when we suppose to be neighbours in science. I think that you can do something as I always believe that women understand better the needs of families Do something for the Cuban families Sincerely
Miriam Palacios-Callender (United Kingdom)
Ian Hodson, BFAWU National President (United Kingdom)
My family never been involved in any terrorist activities why should my ill mum and little nephews pay for something that they haven't done. America is the richest country in the world how can be Cuba a little country in Caribbean dangerous to you!!! Stop this madness and let our people to life in peace and prosperity.
Armando LaO Alvarez (United Kingdom)
Cuba is the victim of US terrorism rather than the sponsor of terrorism. The Cuban Five were unjustly imprisoned for fighting terrorism against their country which only sponsors international solidarity in the struggle for peace, equality and justice. End the blockade and take Cuba off the US State Sponsors of Terrorism List. Respect Cuba's right to self-determination!
Fr Geoffrey Bottoms (United Kingdom)
The USA is a powerful nation. Cuba is a small Caribbean island and does not have the resources to export Terrorism. The USA does not need to fear Cuba.

There is no justification for classing Cuba as a sponsor of terrorism. Take Cuba off the list. This review is long overdue. The US is 'friends' with other states who do fit the SSOT description, making the label arbitrary at best. Lift the blockade. Live in harmony with your neighbours.

Cuba is a pleasant place to visit, good health services, education for all, wonderful ballet, music and dancing, But its friendly and hospitable people have suffered long enough from the US embargo. I can see no reason why the US wants to punish the Cuban people, making their lives more difficult by banning them from receiving trade and assistance from European countries.

Every year the UN votes overwhelmingly for the end of the blockade. You know and we know that Trump put Cuba on the SSOT list because he hates their system of government not because there is any evidence of terrorism. Cuba has no designs on US democracy or power. It simply wants to live and to look after its people. Please help them do that.

Hanyn Ali (France)
Dear Ambassador Jane Hartley, We are writing to you to urge the US Government to remove Cuba from its ‘State Sponsors of Terrorism’ (SSOT) list, a designation which we believe to be both unjust and inhumane in its impact on the Cuban people. As you will be aware, Cuba’s listing as an SSOT was implemented by President Trump on the eve of his departure from office in January 2021. Since then there have been numerous international calls to reverse the action. The presence of Colombian guerrillas in Cuba has been cited to justify the designation, however it is internationally accepted that they were there to participate in official peace talks sponsored by the Norwegian Government, which Cuba was hosting. In fact, following the ceasefire agreement with the ELN guerrilla group, former Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos called on President Biden to remove Cuba from the list, saying: “Cuba should be applauded for the crucial role it played in helping to end decades of conflict and facilitate reconciliation in Colombia, and should not face sanctions for having done so.” Since his election in 2022, President Gustavo Petro has also pushed for Cuba to be removed from the list and has called its continued inclusion a “profound injustice.” Not only is the inclusion on the list unjust, it also has a devastating effect on the lives of the Cuban people. It prevents Cuba from using international banking systems and makes it increasingly difficult to acquire basic necessities such as fuel, food, medicines and hygiene products. Forty-five international banks immediately terminated relations with Cuba when it was returned to the list. There are currently profound shortages in Cuba. Like many countries Cuba is suffering from the world economic crisis, the aftermath of the COVID pandemic, and relentless damage to infrastructure by hurricanes and floods as a consequence of global warming. Uniquely it must also contend with an ongoing 61-year blockade and the extra sanctions that inclusion on the SSOT list brings. Both undoubtedly cost lives in Cuba, and contribute to a humanitarian crisis which is fuelling increased migration from the island to the US. International travel to the United States suffers too. People from 40 countries, including the UK, now have to apply for a full visa if they have visited Cuba, rather than simply applying for an ESTA waiver. In the last year of this presidential term, President Biden has the chance to make a humanitarian gesture that would genuinely make a difference to the lives of millions of Cubans. Such a move would be welcomed by the international community which has been calling for an end to the blockade, and has voted for it in the UN General Assembly for 31 years running. As the brief period of cooperation between the US and Cuba under the Obama administration showed, both countries and peoples gain when a path of peace and engagement is followed. Yours sincerely, Smilla

The Biden administration has provided no evidence of Cuba supporting terrorism in any way. 64 years after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, the United States is still waging an economic and media war against Cuba, both administrations of Trump and now Biden have weaponised the “State Sponsors of Terrorism” list to isolate Cuba internationally and justify continuing the genocidal American blockade #OFFTHELIST

paul adriaanse (Ireland)
It is hypocritical and inhuman for the corporate financed US Senate and House to support a blockade against Cuba. If any country should be blockaded, it is the US for its cruel actions against Cuba. It makes the US the country that sponsors terrorism, as the blockade is an act of terrorism that the US frightens other countries to support. Never forget that Cuba has graduated over 200 American students from the Latin American School of Medicine (LASM/ELAM). These students do not owe even a penny to Cuba nor to the US. Is that terrorism? Certainly not!!! Are the American politicians and those who financially support them the real terrorists? Yes, of course.
Joan Malerich (United States of America)
Cuba is a peace loving country which believes in humanitarian aid and international solidarity. Designation as a terrorist country is a travesty and has no basis in fact. This is causing massive hardship to the Cuban people.

Hello It's high time you showed us that you really are a democratic country with human values. For more than 60 years, you have been hurting the Cuban people because they chose to live differently than what you had in mind. I do not understand in the year where gays, lesbians, dogs, cats, and anything the first world can think about have been added to the human rights list, whereas the country that has done only helping get people out of the mess created by you USA (operating from the Indian Occupied Territory). Stop talking about Hitler when you have taken his place since 1945. History should be re-written. Same thing regarding the Palestinians issued. The sad world we live in because of you. I hope you have a heart and act when it is time. A cuban child or even a Palestinian child has done nothing to you. Shame on you. Superpower with no brain.

The US is perueing an inverted, Luciferian Agenda, 'Speaking with forked tongue'. In reality the biggest promoter and instigator of Terrorism across the Globe, they talk of 'War Against Terror'. Just as they had their 'War Against Drugs' (yet they have for many years been the No. 1 Drug Trafficker in the world, from and before the Vietnam War, ContraGate, Fast and Furious etc., and Skull & Bones was created at Yale from the Opium Trade Profits. The US is in totally illegal Occupation of vast swathes of Syria, including it's oil producing regions, allegedly fighting ISIS, but in reality giving them a safe space to live and base their operations against the legitimate Syrian Government. And now you have a 'Pretender' 'President', foisted on America with a stolen Election, and so gormless he has made America the laughing-stock of the world. Meanwhile, Foreign Fifth Columns have infiltrated and now control the Deep State, destroying whatever was good in America, for their Globalist objectives. How the mighty have fallen!

I have visited Cuba three times now. First, when Castro was still fighting in the hills when I was on a ship loading sugar. The second & third times were as tourists (with my late wife) a few years ago. Cuba is a very peaceful country and deserves to have the ability to thrive in the world. The USA actions against Cuba are a stain on the USA reputation, and counter productive. Please ask you Government to redress this shameful policy.

In the UK, a country with similar political and social values to the US, we see the blocade of Cuba as an ideological one. An Imperial technique to influence the politics of another nation. Something that the US would have something to say about if another country, say China, did the same thing to it. I urge the US to set an example in a time where International Law is being ignored by so many countries around the world and end the embargo against the Republic of Cuba.

Dear Ambassador Hartley, I am a United States citizen, also a resident and citizen of the UK. I am a friend of Cuba, have be there several times, and made many friends there. I am very aware, through personal contact, of the enormous difficulties the ordinary people of Cuba have in simply surviving, not to mention to have any kind of fulfillment in life. The barriers to their wellbeing are needless and avoidable. Above all, they are cruel. Please will you help by doing whatever you can to see Cuba removed from the SSOT list.

The blockade of Cuba by the United States of America was condemned again on 2nd November 2023 when 187 countries voted for the reolution submitted to the General Assembly of the United Nations. Country after country - some speaking on behalf of large groups within the UN challenged the illegal and inhmane action resulting from the designation by President Trump of Cuba as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. It is time that President Biden listened to world opinion and ended this gross injustice inflicted on the Cuban people.
Dr Bernard Regan (United Kingdom)
When you consider the regimes, and their human rights records, that the US continues to maintain positive relationships with, the persecution of Cuba, just for having the audacity to want to follow its own path, makes no sense whatsoever.

It is entirely unfair and unrealistic to suggest Cuba is sponsor of terrorism. It is one of the most advanced societies in the southern hemisphere whose record of medical aid to other countries in crisis is second to none. Cuba is also an ecological role model in sustainability of global importance. I therefore request that the United States normalises relations with Cuba and sincerely hope you would help broker such a positive development in the region. Kind regards.

We firmly believe that this designation on the United States State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list is unwarranted and outdated, and it has a detrimental impact on the lives of countless Cubans, including our own families. The distressing reality of food shortages, prolonged queues, and a critical lack of medicines has plunged the nation into the worst economic and humanitarian crisis it has faced in recent history. We urge you, Jane Hartley to reevaluate this designation. It is our sincere hope that by removing Cuba from the SSOT list, we can contribute to a brighter and more prosperous future for the Cuban people. We call upon the US government to take necessary actions to ease the burden on the Cuban population and facilitate their access to essential resources.

This is evidenced on their support for other countries in need of their expertise e.g.sending top virologist to Italy in Covid crisis. Keeping Cuba on the SSOT list is not only an injustice but deeply insulting given Cubans humanitarian missions around the world. The US is not benefitting from continuing this spiteful blockade as it diminishes the US who likes to talk up values such as liberty and freedom but does not allow the small sovereign island of Cuba these rights.

My father had the honour of meeting Comandante Che Guevara, my son joined the harvest brigades in Cuba. The blockade is unjust, vengeful hence illegal under international positive law. Solidarity with the people of Gaza also means solidarity with the blockaded people of Cuba.

There is no good reason for the United States to subject the Cuban people to the hardship that the embargo that your country has placed on trade to Cuba. Cuba is not a sponsor of terror and it does not in any way endanger the USA.. It aids other countries. The people in this peaceful country are suffering because of the shortages of food, medicine and other necessities, that your country has caused. Remove the Blockade, Please!

This status that the USA gives Cuba, that of state sponsors of terrorism bears no credence in this day and age. It amounts to the collective punishment of ordinary and innocent Cuban citizens, some of whom I have met in Cuba and they are a lovely people. If anyone is the terrorist here it is the USA in perpetrating unnecessary harm towards the Cuban people. You create your own enemies with these types of oppressions, you idiots. It is your country that is dangerous, but you can’t just see it. The USA will end up destroying the world with your paranoid foreign policies.

The Cuban doctors travel the world to save lives in every corner of the globe where there is a natural disaster.

The effects of the blockade were already suffered widely but the inclusion of Cuba on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list, not for being terrorists or engaging in terrorist activities but for not aligning with the USA's preferred terror organisations, have etched that suffering deeply.

Dear Ambassador Jane Hartley I would like to also take this opportunity to urge President Biden and the American Government to lift these unjust sanctions that your Government has placed apon the cuban people . The American Government has political disagreements with the Cuban Government which we should work to resolve however imposing these cruel economic sanctions on the Cuban people does not make humanitarian sense . I have personally visited Cuba a number of times and was immensely impressed by their infrastructure re their health service and education system and how they continue to survive and support each other despite these cruel restrictions . However my key observation was that the ordinary people work together to help each other on an ongoing basis much as do ordinary people in the USA and throughout the world . We know that President Biden has made a great contribution to stimulating the American economy .Surely it is now time to also do this with your Cuban neighbour's ? Iain Reekie Scotland ( UK)
