Cuba calls out U.S. on dissidents
HAVANA, May 22 (UPI) --
Cuba Thursday called on the United States to respond to accusations that Washington's top diplomat on the island passed funds onto dissidents.
The communist island's foreign minister asked top U.S. envoy Michael Parmly to respond to allegations he channeled money from U.S. Cuban groups and individuals to dissidents in Cuba, Granma reported online.
Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque said he hoped the United States took "measures to correct the conduct of its diplomats in Cuba."
The U.S. State Department has denied violating any Cuban laws regarding money sent from the United States to Cuba.
