The pipeline brings in about $ 150 million a year to the Myanmar military. This revenue is the lifeline of the Myanmar coup council to continue to enslave the population.

This is false and an outrage. It is Cuba that has suffered from U.S.-backed terrorist attacks that have killed 3,478 Cuban citizens and injured 2,099.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 60-year blockade is a violation of International law. It is a criminal and inhumane policy to punish the Cuban people for their independence and sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Endorsed by: Codepink, Task Force on the Americas, Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism (QUIT)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hosts: ANSWER Coalition, Cuba and Venezuela Solidarity Committee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/4019312364832810\/?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A%5b%7B%22surface%22%3A%22external_search_engine%22%7D%2C%7B%22mechanism%22%3A%22search_results%22%2C%22surface%22%3A%22search%22%7D%5d%7D\">San Francisco Caravan: End the U.S. Blockade of Cuba! | Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>21.
