Havana, January 6 (RHC) People from around the world posted thousands of messages on the social network Twitter on Sunday in solidarity with the international campaign demanding the immediate release of the Cuban anti-terrorist fighters held in US jails since 1998.
The initiative was called by the International Committee for the Freedom of the Cuban Five, as Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino, Antonio  Guerrero , Fernando González and Rene Gonzalez are internationally known.
The Five were arrested in 1998 in the US city of Miami and given extremely long and unfair prison sentences in 2001 after they monitored Florida-based violent organizations that planned terrorist actions against the Cuban people.
Rene Gonzalez served his prison sentence and returned to Cuba after he renounced his US citizenship, while his four compatriots are still held in US jails.
Participants at the Twitter initiative are using the hashtags  #ObamaLiberalos5Ya!; #ObamaFreetheFiveNow!; #ObamaGivemeFive and #ObamaGestoHumanitarioxlos5!.
The International Committee also called on the world community to contact the White House through fax, email and by sending postcards and urge President Obama to release the Cubans and allow them to return home.
A similar initiative last year was joined by thousands of people from  Canada, Colombia, Brazil, Spain, Bolivia and Germany, including  representatives of political parties and the media.
