GUAYAQUIL, December 28.—Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa has once again condemned the US blockade of Cuba, saying it violates international law and the most fundamental human rights.

In statements to the press, the Ecuadorian leader hailed the fighting spirit of the Cuban people that has been able to stand its ground heroically, despite the more than 50 years of US aggressions and economic hardship.

Correa said that one of the most detrimental US blockade limitations is that Cuba is prevented from purchasing medications for the Cuban people; "but no one lifts a finger to condemn this injustice or takes the matter to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights or to Washington," Correa added.
