Havana, Cuba - Groups of solidarity with Cuba in Mexico will continue their struggle for the release of the five anti-terrorist Cuban fighters held in US prisons, said Maria Lopez, a member of the 14th Latin American, Caribbean Voluntary Work Brigade.
Internationally known as The Five, Cubans Rene Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero, Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino and Fernando Gonzalez have been in US prisons since September 1998.
Their only "crime" was to inform about plans of violent actions against Cuba by Florida-based terrorist groups.
Lopez revealed that groups of solidarity in her country will be closely watching what happens in the August 20 hearing of the 11th Circuit Atlanta Appellate Court, when the defense presents its arguments on irregularities committed by the prosecution in this case.
We have staged demonstrations outside the US Embassy in the Federal District and outside the US Consulate in Guadalajara, demanding the release of The Five, the cessation of the US blockade and punishment for international terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, the mastermind who had a Cuban airliner blown up off Barbados in 1976, killing all 73 people on board. |
