Washington Should Immediately Release the Cuban Five
“Regardless of the historic conflict between Cuba and the United States, the U.S. Government should immediately and unconditionally release the Cuban Five,” said Ricardo Alarcon, president of the Cuban National Assembly (Parliament). - On the occasion of the 13th anniversary of the unjust imprisonment of Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez, and Rene Gonzalez —internationally known as the Cuban Five—, the Trabajadores weekly published on Monday an exclusive interview with Alarcon, who said that Washington should comply with international regulations regarding the war on terrorism. “The colossal injustice against the Cuban Five had only one explanation: the interest of the U.S. authorities to protect and support anti-Cuba terrorist groups that operate with impunity from the United States,” the top legislator noted. “They openly said it during the unjust trial against them in Miami and it is written in the accusation against them and in the court’s record,” he added.
