Washington, Oct 6, (RHC), – Former U.S. Colonel Ann Wright, who served in the U.S. Army and in the Reserve for 29 years sent a letter to President Barack Obama requesting the release of the Cuban anti-terrorists incarcerated in that country since 1998.

The letter speaks against “the injustices of the law enforcement, judicial system and media of the United States concerning the pre-trial incarceration, trial, sentencing and the appeals process of the Cuban Five.”

“I am honored to have had the opportunity to add my voice calling for justice for the Cuban Five and release of the remaining three victims of U.S. injustice-- Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labanino and Antonio Guerrero,” Wright added.

Ann Wright was also a diplomat of the State Department for 16 years, and served her country at the U.S. embassies of Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Micronesia, Mongolia, Kirghistan, Grenada and Nicaragua.

She resigned in 2003 in protest for the U.S. invasion against Iraq. She is co-author of the book “Dissent: Voices of Conscience,” published in 2009.

Meanwhile, members of the Salvadorian Coordinator of Solidarity with Cuba and other organizations staged a march Sunday to demand the release of three Cuban heroes who remain in US prisons.

Demonstrators marched through the historic Cipitio Route on the slopes of San Salvador volcano, carrying Cuban flags and banners showing the images of Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labanino, Gerardo Hernandez, Rene Gonzalez and Fernando Gonzalez, internationally known as The Cuban Five. These men were arrested in the United States in 1998 and given unfair sentences for monitoring Miami-based violent groups operating against Cuba.
