BEIJING, May 21 (Reuters) - China said on Thursday it firmly opposes the United States "abusing judicial means" and pressuring Cuba after Washington charged former Cuban President Raul Castro for murder.
"The United States should cease using sanctions and judicial apparatus as tools of oppression against Cuba and refrain from making threats of force at any time," spokesperson Guo Jiakun told reporters at a regular press briefing on Thursday.
