Havana, March 25 (RHC) The manipulation and politicization of the case of the five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters, who were given long, unfair prison sentences in the United States were exposed Monday in Havana by the lawyer of the relatives of the heroes Nuris Piñero.

During a meeting at the Cuban United Nations Association, the lawyer also stressed the significance of International Day for the Right to Truth in relation to Serious Human Rights Violations and the Dignity of the Victims, a day established by the United Nations and observed every March 24th.

This is not about a criminal issue, this is about politics, the lawyer said as she addressed the case. The US government committed illegalities which must be repaired.

The Miami-based media distorted information, provided by the government, to present a manipulated truth in order to justify the terrorist actions which are still designed in South Florida against Cuba, said the lawyer.

She insisted in the violations committed about the right to be informed against René González, Fernando González, both already free after serving their sentences, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero and Gerardo Hernández, the latter serving two life terms plus 15 years.

However, after so many prison years, arbitrary actions continue to take place, the lawyer revealed and noted that the Judge of the South Florida district court still has on her desk three Habeas Corpus petitions in favor of Hernandez, Guerrero and Labanino.
