"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I rise to speak on the subject of Cuba. During the previous part-session, we approved a vote rejecting the wave of repression that the Cuban dictator has unleashed on his people, having imprisoned scores of intellectuals, writers and artists. The Cuban dictatorship, however, then summarily sentenced three young men to death for having hijacked a boat – an undeniably serious act – in a trial that was summary and harsh, and which provided no guarantees.
This House cannot remain unmoved by this behaviour by the Cuban dictatorship. This House, which has condemned the existence of the death penalty in various countries across the world and which has condemned all countries enforcing the death penalty, cannot remain unmoved by this irrational and barbaric behaviour by the Cuban dictatorship."@en1
