La Paz, October 7 (RHC)-- Bolivia's Minister of the Presidency, Juan Ramon Quintana, highlighted the example of the five Cuban heroes, who suffered unjust imprisonment in U.S. jails, and of Orlando Cardoso, who was imprisoned for nearly 11 years in Somalia.

In an activity in the theater of the Central Bank of Bolivia, Juan Ramón highlighted the enormous sacrifices made by Rene Gonzalez, Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Fernando Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero, and the Cuban colonel. The six Cuban heroes are visiting the South American country at the invitation of the President Evo Morales.

The Cuban Five, as they are known internationally, and Colonel Orlando Cardoso will travel today to the eastern city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra to attend a public event and later tour Vallegrande and La Higuera, where they will pay tribute to the Argentine-Cuban guerrilla fighter Ernesto Che Guevara on the 48th anniversary of his assassination.
