2.AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL URGES OBAMA NOT TO EXTEND BLOCKADE LAW
For the second consecutive year, Amnesty International, global advocacy group for human rights, is calling on President Obama not to extend the Trading With the Enemy Act with respect to Cuba. Such a step would not amend or repeal the embargo, but “would surely be welcomed by many U.S. citizens keen to travel to and engage with Cuba” and send a “clear message to Congress, that after 50 years of tension, new avenues should develop in the relationship with Cuba,” Executive Director Larry Cox said in a recent letter sent to the White House.
