Cuban Americans Want Cuba Off the Terrorist List Too

Email Print PDF

LAWG was happy to work with a group of Cuban Americans in crafting a letter about their position on Cuba as a “state sponsor of terrorism.” Yesterday, we delivered this open letter to the Obama Administration Take_Cuba_off_Terrorist_Listsigned by sixty Cuban Americans from across the United States strongly disagreeing with the position of Cuban-American legislators from Florida on retaining Cuba on the State Department’s list of “state sponsors of terrorism.” The signers state that the Cuban-American legislators from south Florida do not represent them or their views on Cuba, or the views of the majority of Cuban Americans. “The removal of Cuba from this serious tool of U.S. foreign policy is long overdue,” maintain the signers. See below to read the full letter and view the list of signers.

Cuba Still Designated on 2012 Terrorist List

Email Print PDF


On May 30, the State Department released its 2012 Country Report on Terrorism. As we had expected, Cuba was still listed as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. But as we have seen in the past, the State Department does not use the release of the country reports to de-list a country from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. While it is frustrating to continue to see an unfair and untrue designation of Cuba as a state that sponsors terrorism, the results of this report do not end our campaign to remove Cuba from the list. In fact, our campaign will escalate.
