Cuba dismisses US forced-labor report on doctors as 'obsessive persecution'

Cuba's foreign ministry rejected a US report alleging forced labor in its medical missions, calling it 'unilateral and mendacious' without refuting the underlying figures or control mechanisms. The report, if accurate, would implicate Cuba's state-controlled medical export program, a key revenue source. The response's failure to deny specifics suggests tacit acknowledgment, though independent verification remains limited.
