March in Favor of Cuban Five Headlines in Guinea Bissau

HAVANA, Cuba, April 17 (acn) Guinea Bissau’s media and news websites broadcast a march carried out in the city of Bissau to demand the release from jail of five Cuban antiterrorists held in the U.S for more than ten years now.

The demonstration was organized by leaders of Guineans who graduated in the island and organizations of solidarity and friends of the Cuban Revolution. Diplomats and Cuban health experts working in that country also participated in the action.

After a wide and immediate report on national television and the main national radio stations, the demonstration in favor of the release of the Five, as the imprisoned men are called, was featured by the Gazeta De Noticias daily, an important publication widely read by the Portuguese-speaking country.

That paper and other publications, even though they are private media, frequently publish articles about Cuba in solidarity with the Caribbean nation.

Gerardo Hernandez, Rene Gonzalez, Fernando Gonzalez, Ramon Labañino and Antonio Guerrero have been in U.S prisons since 1998, when they were arrested and later sentenced in a biased trial in Miami, for having penetrated anti-Cuba organizations of that American city to avert
criminal actions against the Cuban people.
