Members of the U.S. inter-religious group "Pastors for Peace" arrived in Cuba Sunday with 100 tons of humanitarian aid, after overcoming some impediments at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The group, which comes to Cuba every year in order to protest against the economic blockade the United States has maintained against Cuba for more than 40 years, was led by the Reverend Lucius Walker, who has led the operation since it began in 1992.
When leaving the United States for Mexico, the group faced some "impediments" in the customs office of Tijuana and U.S. agents seized 35 computers from them.
The religious group brought a humanitarian donation of computers, vehicles, medical equipment, and educational, artistic and sports equipment.
The members of Pastors for Peace, which is a project of the Inter-religious Foundation for the Community Organization, collects the aid during a tour of 12 cities in Canada and 125 in the United States.
