Congress notes:
the tremendous progress that has been made at all levels in education and health in Cuba since the revolution in 1959
that these achievements are even more remarkable given the unremitting hostility that Cuba has faced from its hugely more powerful neighbour, the USA
Congress
1. agrees to play a full part in events marking the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, celebrating the huge gains the Cuban people have made.
2. condemns the British government for its continuing support of the US strategy to isolate Cuba and reverse the socialist revolution.
3. calls for the release of the Miami 5 who were not guilty of espionage but were only monitoring anti-Cuban espionage groups.
4. resolves to increase our support for the activities of Cuba Solidarity Campaign.
