 Cuba Calls World Pro-Five Protest

HAVANA, Jun 10 (PRENSA LATINA).— Cuban youth on Tuesday called to multiply international protests of students and social movements for the release of the five Cuban anti-terrorists unfairly imprisoned in the US.

Hundreds of young people in front of the US Interest Section in Havana reiterated their rejection of the injustices the Five Heroes are suffering, after nearly ten years in prison.

Luis Morlote, president of the Hermanos Sainz Associations of Young Creators, reaffirmed the commitment of young generations with the Cuban people's struggle for the return of the Five.

He also called upon youth and students organizations worldwide to join the Cuban demand, and condemn the injustice.

On June 4, the 11th circuit of the Atlanta Court of Appeals upheld the convictions against Gerardo Hernandez, Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labañino, Fernando Gonzalez, and Rene Gonzalez, who are serving long sentences, including several life imprisonments.

That decision has been widely condemned in the world, as the defense demonstrated at that court the existence of anomalies in the initial trial.

In addition, the demonstrators demanded the immediate imprisonment of confessed terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, requested in Venezuela for the mid-flight explosion of a passenger plane and other crimes.
