Cuba Will Never Be Pressured or Blackmailed, Fidel Castro Says

Havana, Jan 25 (Prensa Latina) The leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, stated that Cuba will never be pressured or blackmailed by its enemies, and that the country's laws will be inevitably enforced, as part of its 50 years'' impeccable behavior.

In his latest reflection, referring to the international campaign due to the death of a common prisoner in Cuba last week, Fidel Castro recommended the European Union (EU) to try to save the euro and eliminate the chronic unemployment affecting young people.

Over the last few days, the media and representatives of certain governments traditionally committed to anti-Cuba subversion have unleashed a new campaign of accusations, unscrupulously taking advantage of a lamentable event: the death of an ordinary prisoner, which possibly only in the case of Cuba, is converted into news of international repercussion.

The method utilized is the same one as always: fruitlessly attempting, through repetition, to demonize Cuba, in this case through the deliberate manipulation of an incident which is absolutely exceptional in this country.

This so-called political prisoner was serving a four-year sentence after a fair legal process during which he was at liberty and a trial in accordance with the law, for a brutal physical attack on his wife in public and violent resistance to arrest by police agents.
