The international campaign ‘Let Them Play’ has emerged as a powerful response to the challenges faced by Cuban athletes in participating in global competitions, including those leading up to the upcoming summer event in Los Angeles. Entire delegations have been barred from attending crucial technical meetings and competitions, hindering their ability to represent their nation on the global stage. Yasser Ibarra, First Secretary of the Cuban Embassy in Washington, highlighted the profound impact of these restrictions, stating that denying athletes the right to compete not only disrupts their careers but also undermines collective dreams and national pride. He emphasized that these obstacles are part of a broader policy of pressure and hostility against Cuba, extending even into the realm of sports. During a virtual meeting attended by activists from the United States, Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Canada, Ibarra stressed the significance of the campaign, describing it as a fundamental call for justice rather than a mere slogan. The Hands Off Cuba Committee in Los Angeles, spearheading the initiative, is advocating for messages to be sent to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and seeking support from public figures, celebrities, and sports personalities. The campaign has already garnered backing from the National Network on Cuba, a coalition of over 60 organizations in the United States, underscoring its growing momentum and global resonance.
