STATEMENT

Tour Republic stands with the peaceful protests happening across Cuba.

The Cuban Government must not crush the people's rights to protest and their hopes for a better country. We call on the Cuban authorities to hear the cries of freedom and undergo the necessary reforms to establish a democratic government.

Enough is enough.

At the same time, we ask the US Government to lift the economic sanctions that deepen the suffering of the Cuban people. Remove the Cuban Government of all excuses.

Viva Cuba Libre!
