REUTERS/Demetrius Freeman July 16 (Reuters) - Cuban-born pop star Gloria Estefan on Friday urged the United Nations to condemn the Communist government in Havana for its suppression of mass protests. Estefan, 63, who left Cuba for the United States with her family when she was two years old, said she hoped the Cuban police and military would throw their support behind the protests. "I call on the United Nations to condemn the Cuban government and their tactics against their own people, that they're using violence, that people are disappearing, that they've killed people," the "Turn the Beat Around" singer told Reuters in an interview.
