Just ten days prior to the conference, the doctors were informed of the
denial by the US government, which included threats and sanctions
against the regional organization for having held its congress on the
island, said Dr. Guillermo Arias, the president of the 2nd Regional
Congress of the Inter-American Psychology Society organizing committee.
The threat was extended to Latin American professionals who were told
that those who travel to Cuba will not be allowed in US territory for
six months, said doctor Arias.
I thought this only applied to ships carrying cargoes. Imagine what these doctors would be carrying!
