“Sanctions have lethal effect”: Intellectuals call for end to US blockade on Cuba and Venezuela
More than 50 intellectuals from around the world have called on US Senator Bob Menendez to stop supporting sanctions against Cuba and Venezuela. In a letter published last Wednesday, economists, political scientists and historians from 10 countries highlighted the existence of several studies that show the humanitarian damage caused by US sanctions. They insisted that Menendez would be lying by saying that the measures do not affect the Cuban and Venezuelan populations.
“We respectfully ask that you stop spreading the false narrative that there is no association between economic sanctions and the economic and humanitarian crises in countries targeted by the sanctions,” the document says.
