Dublin, Ireland: Let Cuba Live picket at U.S. Embassy, April 18, 2021.
A Dublin based flying picket marked the 60th anniversary of the Bay of Pigs invasion outside the US embassy today. A statement released by the group said:
“We are the Dublin Flying Pickets and we’re here to celebrate the second Cuban military victory over US imperialism at the Bay of Pigs. The first was the triumph over Batista, the US imposed dictator. For 60 years the people of Cuba have chalked up daily victories over US imperialism. Each day they struggle against the genocidal US blockade, each day they win, each day the US blockade fails.”
