Cuba denounces US attempt of handling alleged health incidents

['Please Enter Your Name Here']

Date: 2021-12

The Cuban president, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, reiterated on Tuesday that the manipulation of the United States on the alleged health incidents of his diplomats in Havana failed.

The president shared on his Twitter account an article published in the national newspaper Granma that collects the results of a scientific event organized by the Academy of Sciences of Cuba to address these facts again.

Justification for the reversal in bilateral relations

The evidence presented in the quotation “clearly rejects the theories put forward by the State Department as a justification for the backward movement in bilateral relations with Cuba,” according to the information.

In this regard, the director of the Neurosciences Center of Cuba, Mitchell Valdés, said there is no evidence of damage to the brain networks of diplomats allegedly attacked. “It is not possible to support the idea that supposedly in Cuba the same illness caused by an external agent occurred in a number of people,” added Dr. Valdés, who advocated collaboration to clarify these facts.

In August 2017, the State Department alleged that several US diplomats were affected by an alleged hearing loss. In response, the United States expelled 15 Cuban diplomats from Washington and withdrew most of theirs from Havana; then, he closed the consulate on the Island.

The Cuban authorities reiterated from the outset that there was no evidence of any kind of act against US diplomats in Havana. They denounced that the northern nation uses that matter as a pretext to impose measures against bilateral relations, and that after time there has only been speculation and little information and cooperation.
