Cuban Cooperants in Guatemala Demand the Release of the Cuban Five

HAVANA, Cuba- Members of the Cuban Medical Brigade in Guatemala demanded the immediate release of five Cuban antiterrorists, unjustly imprisoned in the US since 1998. On the occasion of their 9th National Scientific Festival, the cooperants working in 18 out of the 22 Guatemalan departments passed a resolution condemning the biased treatment these men received during their trials.

The document affirms that Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez and Rene Gonzalez ––internationally known as the Cuban Five –– were just trying to prevent terrorist actions against Cuba by right-wing groups settled in Miami.

The resolution makes reference to the double standard policy of Washington, which condemns the Cuban Five, whereas it protects renowned terrorists who walk free through the US.

The Cuban cooperants promised to spread the truth about the Cuban Five wherever they take their humanitarian work.

The document will be sent to US president Barack Obama to demand him to use its constitutional prerogatives in favor of Gerardo, Ramon, Fernando, Antonio, and Rene.

The Cuban cooperants also demanded the extradition of Luis Posada Carriles to Venezuela, or a fair trial in US for his terrorist crimes and not for migration fraud, as he is being charged at present in El Paso, Texas.(acn)
