On June 5, a federal appeals court upheld the convictions of the “Cuban Five”: René González, Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labaniño, Fernando González and Antonio Guerrero. The Five heroically risked their lives to defend the Cuban Revolution against terror attacks launched from the U.S. Prosecutors presented evidence that the five had infiltrated counterrevolutionary terror groups in Miami. The government outrageously charged the defendants with “conspiracy” to commit espionage and murder, since there is not a shred of evidence that they commited any crime whatsoever. Several thousand Cubans have been killed in nearly five decades of invasions, bombings and assassinations by the U.S. and its gusano mercenaries. The authors of the notorious 1976 bombing of a Cubana Airlines passenger plane that killed all 73 aboard, Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada Carriles, walk around Miami freely while the Cuban Five have been locked up for nearly a decade. We demand the Cuban Five be freed now, and return the U.S. naval base and torture center at Guantánamo to Cuba!
