Brazil's Justice Minister Agrees to Review Forced Labor Claims of Cuban Medical Workers in Brazil

On Wednesday, August 26, after a meeting with GLA-allied lawyers for 100 Cuban medical workers, the Brazilian Minister of Justice and Public Safety agreed to investigate the workers' allegations of forced labor in the Cuban medical mission.

The situation of Cuban medical professionals in Brazil has been well documented, especially since PAHO's role in the Cuba-Brazil contracts was identified. See the New York Times article "Cuban Doctors Accused International Agency of Profiting from Their Work" (11/29/18).

 Below, read GLA's press release on the matter.
