US EMBASSY BRIDGETOWN: The United States is committed to holding accountable Cuban regime officials, foreign government officials, and others for facilitating forced labor in Cuba’s medical missions.

By participating in these programs, despite known human rights abuses, foreign governments become complicit in the regime’s tactics.

Their actions directly contribute to the abuses of Cuban workers.

There are alternative methods available for Caribbean nations to recruit foreign medical workers and ethically meet the healthcare needs of their people.

The United States calls on all governments and peoples to reject forced labor schemes and join us in demanding accountability and respect for human rights.
