Havana, Sept. 17 (RHC)-- The Cuban Friendship Institute (ICAP) has published a series of podcasts entitled ‘Terrorismo nunca más’ or (Terrorism, never again), as part of the Tenemos Memoria (We Have Memory) Campaign running through October 31st.

The podcasts, available on the YouTube channel of ICAP, denounce state terrorism by the US government to destabilize peoples and overthrow governments that do not follow Washington’s dictates, smashing those nations’ efforts toward peace and social justice.

The first podcast in the series features René González, one of the five Cuban anti-terrorists who spent long prison terms in the US for trying to prevent violent acts perpetrated by US-based extremist groups and individuals against the Cuban nation and people with the complicity of US authorities. In the podcast, González speaks about the judicial farce against them in Miami and the long periods that he and his four compatriots spent in solitary confinement, as well as the obstacles to family visitations and normal lawyer-client meetings.

Precisely, September 12th marked 23 years since the unfair imprisonment of the Cuban Five in the United States. Upon their release from US jails, in December 2014 the Five were named Heroes of the Republic of Cuba.

René Gonzalez urged to never forget our country’s past and recent history and the lessons we’ve learned ‘otherwise, he said, we run the risk of returning to a dark past of subjugation and oppression that our people fought so hard to leave behind.

The 5th edition of the Tenemos Memoria (We Have Memory) Campaign takes place online due to the Covid-19. Besides denouncing US terrorism against Cuba, the US blockade and the US-backed military coup against Chilean president Salvador Allende, it also includes actions in solidarity with the Puerto Rican people on September 20th.

The campaign began, as usual, on September 4th with a tribute to Italian Fabio Di Celmo, on the 24th anniversary of the terrorist attack that claimed his life at Havana’s Copacabana hotel.

Other activities include virtual events to condemn the US blockade on September 17th, car caravans in cities around the world to condemn Washington’s hostile Cuba policy on September 25th and 26th and a solidarity event, organized by the Latin American and Caribbean Network on Cuba.
