International repudiation of the criminal economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the U.S. on Cuba; condemnation of the terrorist attack on the island's embassy in Washington; and the proposal to award the Nobel Peace Prize to our Henry Reeve Contingent have been repeated in messages to revolutionary Cuba from political parties, solidarity organizations and public figures around the world.
The Secretary General of the Progressive Workers Party of Cyprus, Andros Kyprianou, highlighted Cuba's help to other countries and its role in the COVID-19 battle. He highlighted the example of the more than 2,500 Cuban health workers providing assistance and knowledge to several nations, organized in brigades of the Henry Reeve International Contingent of Doctors Specialized in Disaster Situations and Serious Epidemics.
Likewise, five legislative caucuses in Honduras, including the three most important political forces, unanimously expressed appreciation for the work and solidarity shown by our medical brigade there, highlighting the Cuban government and people’s support for Hondurans.
Justice Piitso, former South African ambassador to Cuba and assistant to the Secretary General of the African National Congress, recently published an article to highlight the commendable work of our doctors: “The Henry Reeve medical brigade has repeatedly demonstrated, over several decades, that a quality health service can be definitively and permanently established at the international level, as an inalienable human right. Since its formation, the brigade's medical staff, now comprised of 7,400 volunteer workers, has been at the forefront of our fight to ensure that people around the world have better health services. Inspired by this human gesture, I would like to ask the world community of nations to join in supporting the campaign for the nomination of this glorious page of the Cuban Revolution for the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize.”
