HAVANA, Cuba, March 26 (acn) The release of the five Cuban antiterrorists unjustly incarcerated in the United States was demanded in La Paz by the Bartolina Sisa Confederation of Indigenous Women Farmers Native to Bolivia
In a letter sent to the US First Lady, Michelle Obama, the farmworkers, headed by Senator Leonilda Zurita, demanded the cessation of legal violations in this cause, Granma newspaper reports.
Moreover, the Bartolina Sisa Confederation, a battle-hardened group among Bolivian social organizations, asked Washington to grant humanitarian entry visas to Adriana Pérez and Olga Salanueva, the wives of two of the Cuban Five, Gerardo Hernández and René González, respectively.
Gerardo and René, together with Ramón Labañino, Fernando González and Antonio Guerrero, internationally known as The Five due to the international campaign in favor of their release, have been imprisoned over the last ten years, serving long and unjust sentences.
They were condemned in a biased trial held in the US city of Miami, for the only crime of warning their government and people about terrorist actions against Cuba carried out by anti-Cuban groups from south Florida.
The injustice committed against these antiterrorism fighters was also denounced by Alberto García, representative of the Cuban Institute for Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) during the First International Meeting on Alternative Communications, held in Seville, Spain.
