From Media Network weblog:

The website of Radio Habana Cuba reports that Cuba has again denounced at the United Nations what it calls ”the growing US radio and television aggressions against the island.” The website says that Cuba’s Alternate Ambassador to the UN, Ileana Nuñez, made the denunciation during a speech at the Fourth Commission of the General Assembly dealing with issues related to Information.

The website continues: “She pointed out that Washington’s radio and television aggressions have been underway for years and have increased since August with the use of a G-1 plane to increase its television transmissions from one to six a week.”

According to Radio Habana, “The Cuban diplomat pointed out that the US radio electronic war against Cuba directly violates international telecommunications agreements. Nuñez added that each week, right-wing radio stations in the US transmit more than 2,240 hours of radio and television towards Cuba on 30 different frequencies. Some of these radio stations belong to the US government and others belong to or offer their services to organizations linked to terrorists that work against Cuba in the United States, with the total knowledge of US authorities.”
