HAVANA, Cuba, Jan 14 (ACN) The II Central American Cuba Solidarity Brigade, made up of activists from Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras and Panama, ended Tuesday a 10-day stay in the island by ratifying the purpose of multiplying its actions in the current year.

In a Final Declaration, the 13 members of the group pledged to promote unity and to strengthen and broaden the scope of the solidarity movement to consolidate an anti-imperialist front in the region, and demanded the end of the U.S. blockade and of all policies intended to asphyxiate the economy and the development of Cuban society, in violation of International Law.
