The Five Heroes resistance examples, courage and dignity

The Five Heroes resistance examples, courage and dignity. Intervención of the delagade Resfel Pine Álvarez, under the topic 2 of the calendar: Inform of the Commissioned Discharge. 12 ordinary period of sessions of the Council of DD.HH. September 15, 2009 .

Mr. President:

Cuba associates fully with the intervention carried out by Egypt to name of the Movement of Not Aligned Countries, and sink to the gratefulness to the Commissioned Discharge for its detailed presentation carried out in the morning of today.

Mrs. Pillay has approached questions of great importance for the promotion and the protection of the human rights, included the necessity to put an end to all the discrimination forms; the promotion of the rights of the women, the migrants, the minorities, the natives and other vulnerable groups; the end of the violence; as well as the imperative of granting the priority that corresponds to the economic, social and cultural rights.

Are certainly topics in those which is even a lot to advance to achieve the full protection of all the human rights for all.

Mr. President:

Cuba values this debate space highly on the report of the Commissioned Discharge. It is for it that we will refer to a topic of crucial importance, on which the Office of the Commissioned Discharge is to the point, and to which the Cuban town grants a special priority. It is the situation of unjust incarceration in which are Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, Ramón Labañino Salazar, Antonio Guerrero Rodríguez, Fernando González Llort and René González Sehwerert, Five Cuban antiterrorist fighters who have turned already eleven years of prison in USA, and whose detention was declared arbitrary for the Group of Work on Arbitrary Detentions of this Council.

After a tortuous and arbitrary process, the past June 15 the Supreme Court of Justice of United States decided to ignore the universal clamor so that it revised the case. The judges preferred to make what the Government requested them and, without paying them attention some, ignored the solid arguments presented by the defense, as well as a dozen of support documents subscribed by ten honored personalities with the Prize Nobel, legislative organs, hundreds of parliamentarian, jurists' of numerous countries organizations, including United States, and personalities defenders of the human rights, academic, religious and others that represent to millions of people in all the Continents.

The Court authenticated an endless series of violations to the right and the legal procedures, and it was made accomplice of the promotion politics and help to the terrorism that has been and it is the substance of the enormous injustice of which are our victims Five countrymen.

The vengeful and unjust treatment against the Five also expands to its relatives who face countless obstacles to exercise its visit right. The most extreme case is that of Adriana Pérez and Olga Salanueva, wives of Gerardo and René to who have been denied the visa repeatedly to visit its husbands, under the most absurd pretexts, included the that “they constitute a threat for the national security of USA”. Difficult it is to understand what threat type two women would represent for the security of one of the most powerful empires known by the history.

In spite of the countless obstacles that are imposed, and of the absurdities and inhuman punishments of those that are victims, the Five continue offering to the world a resistance example and dignity, of principles and courage. Their cause is today that of millions in the world. Earlier than it takes their captores will have to listen the clamor of justice that every time with more force arrives from all the continents, and of sectors of the own North American town.
