Havana, March 21 (RHC) -- The International Committee for the Freedom of the Cuban Five imprisoned in the United States has called for a week of activities in their support next June 4th to the 11th.
Lawyers, parliamentarians, intellectuals, religious and union leaders will convene in Washington to demand the release of the fighters who were inhumanly convicted in the United States for monitoring terrorist cells based in Florida, who were plotting against Cuba.
The so-called Third Campaign of denunciation and solidarity “Five Days for the Five in Washington” will include lectures by prestigious panelists, cultural events, and a peaceful rally outside the White House, to demand the release of Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino and Antonio Guerrero, the three members of the Cuban Five that remain incarcerated in US federal prisons.
“Only two of them, Rene Gonzalez and Fernando Gonzalez, are back in their homeland, after having completed their unjust sentences," says a communique issued by the solidarity group.
Participants in the rally will also call for the release of Puerto Rican independence fighters and other political inmates, as well as the termination of the U.S. economic blockade on Cuba."
