HAVANA, Jan 31 (NNN-ACN) — Cuban President and First Secretary of Cuba’s Communist Party Miguel Diaz-Canel described as a brutality act the recent US announcement about forcibly incarcerating thousands of migrants at its naval base in the illegally occupied Cuban territory of Guantanamo.
On his X account, the Cuban head of state wrote that the migrants will be located close to the renowned illegal detention and torture prisons cells, which the US maintains in Guantanamo.
Also in X, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez wrote that the United States’ decision to imprison migrants where Washington set up a detention and torture center reveals contempt for the human condition and international law.
US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order indicating the Defense Department to allocate 30,000 beds in the US naval base in Guantanamo to receive migrants deported from US continental territory.
The announcement is part of the massive deportation plan of the new US administration, as promised during the electoral campaign of Donald Trump.
The prison camp at Guantanamo naval base was set up in 2002, by the US President George W. Bush to detain alleged September 11 attacker. At present there are 15 detainees from that time at the prison. — NNN-ACN
