STOCKHOLM, Sweden, March 23 The war of words between Sweden and Cuba has
deepened, with Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt reaffirming his
attacks on Cuba's human rights record.
Bildt also said mail for Sweden's diplomatic mission in Havana had been
tampered with, the Swedish newspaper The Local reported Friday.
A diplomatic row erupted between the nations earlier this week after
Bildt criticized Cuba's human rights record.
The minister made his critical remarks to the U.N. Human Rights Council,
The Local reported Wednesday.
Cuba's delegate to the Human Rights Council, Rodolfo Reyes Rodriguez,
retaliated verbally, saying that "Cuba, unlike Sweden, does not
persecute migrants or carry out ethnic cleansing that only allows those
whose skin and hair color fit with the racial patterns of former Viking
conquerors to remain in the country."
