Some 30,000 Cubans, headed by Vice President Raul Castro, demanded on Saturday that the United States end its threats to the world peace and the aggression of Iraq.
One of the participants at the demonstration, held in Baragua municipality, at the central province of Ciego de Avila, said that the oil sought by the US in Iraqi soil is not worth the life of innocent human beings.
"We want peace and that every child can receive every morning a kiss from his teacher," said an elementary school student.
The participants also condemned the Cuban Adjustment Law, a US legislation drafted in 1966 which grants migratory privileges to all those Cubans reaching the United States by any mean.
Cuban authorities claim that this law constitutes a stimulus for illegal migration and the kidnapping of boats and airplanes from Cuba to take them to the territory of the United States.
