She arrived in Havana as part of the 13th International May Day Solidarity Brigade.
According to the activist, the United States is one of the most represented countries within that solidarity bloc with more than 70 brigade members.
Labash also highlighted the need that the U.S. government returns to Cuba the territory illegally occupied by the naval base in Guantanamo, east of Cuba.
The detention center, opened in 2002 and had about 800 inmates -now 41-, is designated by international organizations as a place where torture and systematic violations of human rights against prisoners were committed.
Speaking about the worsening of Washington’s policy toward Havana, Labash expressed her rejection to the interventionist positions by U.S. President, Donald Trump.
The activist will participate with almost 300 brigade members from Latin America, Europe, Asia and Canada in the central activities for the International Workers’ Day, an event that includes a massive parade at the Revolution Square in Havana and in the provincial capitals.
Received yesterday at the Julio Antonio Mella International Camp, in Artemisa, the 13th International May Day Solidarity Brigade will complete an intense two-week agenda in Cuba. (Prensa Latina)
