Cubans residing in Bolivia have taken active part and have discussed the issue of blockade against the island during the second meeting of the Greatest of Antilles' residents here, also outlining its long duration and cruel application throughout 50-years.

They will also review the initiatives carried out for the time being as a result of which 187 countries voted a Cuban resolution condemning Washington's hostile measure at the United Nations.

Participants in the meeting will take further actions in the next months and in 2010 as well to demand the release of five Cuban antiterrorists held in US prisons since 1998.

They will also denounce the violations of basic rights of Gerardo Hernandez, Rene Gonzalez, Ramon Labañino, Antonio Guerrero and Fernando Gonzalez.

Among the topics to be debated at the meeting, there will be the Cuban culture and national identity, as well as the work of associations of Cuban residents in Bolivia and their relations with Cuba solidarity movements.
