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

Citing the deaths of George Floyd in 2020 and the killing in January of Tyre Nichols as examples of racism, Mr Rodriguez tweeted his alarm that more than 1,000 people die every year in the United States due to police firearms.

HAITI: Four key suspects in the killing of Haitian president Jovenel Moise were transferred to the United States for prosecution as the case stagnates in Haiti amid death threats that have spooked local judges, United States officials announced on Tuesday.
