Chileans Demand Freedom for the Cuban Five

HAVANA, Cuba, April 20 (acn) Several events were held in different locations in Chile to commemorate Cuba's Bay of Pigs victory, and during them participants demanded the release of the five Cuban antiterrorist incarcerated in the United States.

In southern Concepcion city, the Jose Marti Cultural association showed a series of Cuban documentaries that included "El Proceso: la historia no contada" (The process: the untold story) about Gerardo Hernandez, Fernando Gonzalez, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero and René Gonzalez, reported Prensa Latina news agency.

The organizers of the event, held at the Fernando Alvarez Foundation headquarters, said that this film (2007) reveals the brutality of the US justice system against the five Cubans that, in Miami, were fighting to protect their country from terrorist actions performed by anti-Cuban
groups.

Meanwhile, in the San Miguel community, in Santiago de Chile, some 200 members of the Friends of Cuba Forever and Cuba Will Overcome solidarity groups, recalled the Bay of Pigs victory at the communal cultural center, attended by Mayor Julio Palestra, who expressed gratitude for Cuban solidarity towards the Chilean people.
