On May 22, the Scottish Socialist Party announced that Rosie Kane, an SSP member of the Scottish Parliament for Glasgow, has been invited to Cuba. Rosie will speak at an international conference, “Against terrorism, for truth and justice”, to be held in Havana on June 2-3. The conference will demand justice from the US government in relation to two men accused of bombing a Cuban airline flight in 1976, killing 73 people. Rosie was quoted on the SSP website as saying “I am going to Cuba in the spirit of international solidarity, for truth and justice, and I’ll be taking the message that the people of Scotland stand alongside the people of Cuba in opposition to the warmongers in the White House ... I will be seeking a meeting with Fidel Castro so that I can deliver a message of solidarity and unity from the SSP to the people of Cuba against the US blockade.”
