Motion · S5M-22452 · 18 Aug 2020
Nobel Peace Prize for Cuban Doctors
The motion
That the Parliament commends the selflessness of the Cuban medics who are helping to tackle COVID-19 in 27 countries; acknowledges the work of the Henry Reeve International Medical Brigade, which has reportedly saved over 80,0000 lives since 2005; notes that this continues despite, it understands, the group being demonised by the US administration and the continued hardship and a lack of medical supplies being made available to the Cuban people because of what it sees as the unfair blockade, and encourages people to sign the petition asking the Nobel Committee to award the Henry Reeve International Medical Brigade the Nobel Peace Prize.
