CUBAN DIPLOMAT TO SPEAK IN PHILADELPHIA THURSDAY, JUNE 13th

Oscar Redondo, First Secretary of the Cuban Interests Section in
Washington D.C., will be the featured speaker at a public meeting
7:30pm Thursday June 13th at Green Street Friends Meeting, 45 West
Schoolhouse Lane, Philadelphia.

The event --entitled 'What's Up with Cuba?'-- presents an opportunity
to review and discuss Washington's escalation of hostility to Cuba,
as well as the recent visit to the island by former president Carter. 
Stepped-up U.S. operations against Cuba in the past two months have
included provocations staged in Monterrey and at the Mexican embassy
in Havana, the attempted overthrow of Venezuela's government, an
orchestrated censure by the UN Human Rights Commission, false charges
of a Cuban bio-weapons program, and the May 20th speech by Bush
aggressively reaffirming U.S. intransigence.

Redondo was Prensa Latina's Mexican correspondent for five years
before joining Cuba's UN delegation. He was appointed First Secretary
of the Cuban Interests Section in April 2000.

The June 13th event will also hear a U.S.  perspective from Steve
Eckardt of the Philadelphia Cuba Support Coalition, as well as
updates from Pamela Martin of the Philadelphia/Cardenas Sister Cities
Project and Stephen Paulmier of the Free the Five Committee.

The meeting is free and open to the public. A discussion period will
follow the presentations.

Green Street Friends Meeting is located at 45 West Schoolhouse Lane
in Philadelphia, between Greene Street and Germantown Avenue. Plenty
of parking is available at the site, which is also served by several
trolley lines, including the #23.

The meeting with the Cuban diplomat is jointly sponsored by the
Philadelphia Cuba Support Coalition and the Peace and Social Concerns
committee of the Green Street Friends Meeting. For further
