Cuba will be freer after US embargo lifted says Parolin

(ANSA) - Vatican City, September 17 - Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parloni voiced the hope Cuba will be freer after the US embargo is lifted. Saying the Vatican is against "this type of sanction" he said a lifting of the embargo "may also lead to greater opening from the standpoint of freedom and human rights". President Barack Obama, whom Pope Francis will meet later this month after the pope visits Cuba, has been lobbying for the embargo to be lifted.
