VENCEREMOS BRIGADE CHALLENGES TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS
The eighty members of the 34th Contingent of the Venceremos Brigade arrived at Havana's Jose Marti Airport tonight on a Cubana Airlines flight from Toronto.The Brigade has never asked for, or accepted, a license for travel to Cuba. The Brigade challenges the right of the U.S. government to restrict travel to Cuba and calls for an end to the travel ban and to the economic blockade. At 8:30 AM on August 4th, the Brigade will return on foot across the International Peace Bridge in from Ft. Erie, Ontario, Canada to Buffalo, New York, to announce its return from Cuba. The Brigade will be joined by supporters on both sides of the international border.
