CARACAS, July 13 (Xinhua) — The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of the Americas (ALBA) on Saturday strongly condemned U.S. sanctions against senior Cuban officials.

In a statement, the bloc called the sanctions imposed by the US State Department on Friday “shameful,” condemning the measures against Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel, Armed Forces Minister General Alvaro Lopez Miera and Interior Minister Lazaro Alberto Alvarez Casas.

“The sanctions reflect a deep fear of imperialism in the face of the living example of resistance, dignity and sovereignty embodied by the Cuban Revolution,” the statement said, reaffirming the bloc’s solidarity with the Cuban people, government and leadership.

"Cuba is not alone. The people of America stand with it," the statement said.

Washington announced the sanctions on Friday, which Washington said were related to the role of Cuban officials in the “brutal suppression of protests” in 2021. –0–
