MOSCOW, November 3.— The Russian Duma (lower house of Parliament) condemned Friday, with a unanimous vote of all 436 deputies, the US economic blockade against Cuba and called on the parliaments of the world to join the international demand for its end.

Presenting the document, Parliamentarian Serguei Baburin noted that in 2001, during their meeting in Havana, presidents Vladimir Putin and Fidel Castro defended equality for all states and respect for their sovereignty.

Visiting Cuban Parliament's president, Ricardo Alarcón, expressed gratitude on behalf of the Cuban legislature and people for what he called "a fine gesture of solidarity by the Duma with its unanimous vote."

The leader of the communist group in the Russian Parliament, Guennadi Ziuganov, for his part, said that the plenary session, with its unanimous vote to applause and cheers, had been unprecedented. He said over the last few years no guest speaker from a foreign parliament had addressed the Duma as Alarcon had.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
