International
mobilization demands freedom for the Cuban Five
•
HAVANA,
September 14.— The first public concert in
solidarity with the Cuban Five, political prisoners
in the United States, was held in New York with more than 600 spectators who demanded freedom for the
anti-terrorist fighters. Alicia
Jrapko, a member of the International Committee to
Free the Five, told the Cuban National News Agency (AIN)
that the event, "Five Stars and a Song," was
organized to demand that Washington immediately
release René González, Gerardo Hernández, Ramón
Labañino, Antonio Guerrero and Fernando González. |
The case is not
closed
•
"CASE closed — forget about that!" affirmed
Ricardo Alarcón de Quesada, president of the
National Assembly of People’s Power, referring to
the unjust ruling of a panel of judges in Atlanta to
uphold a decision to not review the appeals of
Gerardo Hernández and René González.
Speaking on the "Roundtable" TV and radio program,
Alarcón said the ruling was objectively divisive in
nature, in order to create confusion, but that the
attitude of the Five continues and will continue to
be one of unity. He recalled details of the rigged legal
proceedings, which included substantial problems,
false accusations, illegalities, prevaricating by
judges in the different courts and administrative
arbitrariness.
