OT. Cuba lodges 121 billion-dollar anti-U.S. damages lawsuit

Wednesday, January 5, 2000

HAVANA: Cuba has said it had lodged a 121 billion dollar damages' claim against the U.S. Government with a local tribunal to compensate economic losses allegedly caused by four decades of hostility from Washington.

The case was presented on Monday at the Havana people's tribunal by grass-roots groups, representing the Cuban people against the U.S. authorities, an official communique said yesterday.

The claim demands compensation for ''direct and indirect economic losses caused to the nation by the U.S. economic war and blockade, and by physical attacks organised, carried out and promoted by the U.S. government,'' Havana's statement added.

Washington's full economic embargo, which communist-ruled Cuba calls a ''blockade,'' has been in place since 1962. U.S. aggression since president Fidel Castro's 1959 Cuban revolution, included subversion, biological war, terrorism and sabotage attacks, support for internal ''armed bands'', and promotion of foreign infiltrations, the statement said.

The communique also listed as U.S.-backed aggressions hundreds of plans to assassinate Cuban leaders including Castro military and nuclear threats and the failed, 1961 CIA- supported bay of pigs invasion by Cuban exiles.

The new lawsuit follows a local court's upholding in November of a separate 181.1 billion dollar compensation claim against Washington for deaths and injuries Cuba also blames on 40 years of hostilities with its powerful northern neighbour. Reuters report.
