Socialist Kane to give Castro Scots 'support'
SCOTTISH Socialist MSP Rosie Kane will travel to Cuba this week - where she hopes to meet President Fidel Castro "to deliver a message of solidarity and unity from the Scottish Socialist Party to the people of Cuba against the US blockade".
She is to address an international conference urging the US to extradite two men with alleged links to the bombing of a Cuban airliner that claimed 73 lives three decades ago.
"I am going in the spirit of international solidarity for truth and justice," said the Glasgow MSP, "taking the message that the people of Scotland stand alongside the people of Cuba in opposition to the warmongers in the White House.
"The brutality and greed of capitalism can be seen easily with the naked eye. The same speeches can be translated from community to community, from motorway to blockade; same problem and same solution."
