Women for Peace and Justice in Iran, which holds 'peace and justice for all' as its basic value and advocates for Iranian self determination, endorses the Washington, DC 10/18/2003 program on Cuba relations and in solidarity with Cuba's right to self-determination, organized by the National Network on Cuba and the DC No War on Cuba Movement.

It is our honor to be able to express solidarity with our sisters and brothers in Cuba in their just struggle for self determination, as we support that same struggle for the people of Iran and the people of the world everywhere. The peoples of both countries come under threat from the same source -- the US imperialist government, as do many other people all over the world. The people of Iran have always stood in solidarity with the people of Cuba. Ever since the 1979 revolution in Iran, the relationship between the two nations has strengthened. The people's movement is spreading everywhere, as witnessed most recently by the movement of the workers, peasants, and students in Bolivia. We believe that it is only with the solidarity of all the oppressed peoples and nations of the world that we can save the world from the oppression of global capital and the threats of the US military.

WE DEMAND THE FREEDOM OF THE FIVE CUBAN CITIZENS HELD HOSTAGE BY THE US GOVERNMENT.

LONG LIVE THE CUBAN REVOLUTION!
