Police brutality in the U.S. violates human rights, says Cuban FM

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez on Tuesday said that law enforcement brutality is one of the most serious and systematic violations of human rights in the United States.

On Twitter, the Cuban Foreign Minister pointed out that it is also alarming that more than 1,000 people die every year in the United States due to police firearms.Rodriguez said the deaths of the African-American George Floyd, in May 2020, and recently of Tyre Nichols, are examples of disrespect to the most elementary human rights. According to the U.S. media, their deaths show the racism and violence of some police officers.
