    Cuba Denounces US Event at UN, Accuses US of Blackmail and Intimidation

    Cuba's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ernesto Soberón Guzmán, denounced an event organized by the US Mission at UN headquarters, describing it as a 'farce' and accusing the US of spreading falsehoods about Cuba. The event, titled 'Cuba Libre: The Oppression That Havana Hides,' was held ahead of the UN General Assembly's vote on the Cuban resolution against the US blockade. Soberón accused the US of acting secretly and selectively, and of using the event to justify its policy of aggression against Cuba. He also accused the US of using human rights as a pretext to attack Cuban sovereignty. The Cuban government qualified the event as a 'mendacious spectacle' and accused the US of manipulating the UN. The US, meanwhile, accused Cuba of harassing and intimidating US diplomats and dissidents. The real debate on the US blockade is set to take place on October 27 and 28.
