🚨 Several of our May Day brigadistas were detained, harassed, threatened with jail time & had electronics taken by US Customs/Border Patrol on return from Cuba today. In face of persecution, we reaffirm our right to travel to Cuba. SOLIDARITY IS NOT A CRIME - THE US BLOCKADE IS!

This is an onslaught against Cuba solidarity activism. NNOC stands with International Peoples' Assembly & @ushandsoffcuba members detained returning from Cuba this week; as well as African People’s Socialist Party, Puentes de amor, Puerto Rico CSC & Oklahoma activists who have been targeted by the US govt this year.

The US says Cuba is a repressive police state, but in reality, we experienced freedom for the first time in Cuba, & when we stepped foot back into the US, we were immediately met with state repression, hostile interrogation, seizure of personal property & illegitimate threats.

Let's not forget that our trip to Cuba was completely licensed & legal. This harassment by the US government attempts to scare & intimidate the US people out of traveling to Cuba & building solidarity with the Cuban people. But we know that our solidarity can never be blockaded!

From the very first US brigades to Cuba, we've been followed, harassed & had our personal possessions seized by Border Patrol & the FBI. Today, we were interrogated clearly in a political nature, with questions designed to obstruct our movement against the blockade.
