Cuba requests United States Access to Legal Documents for Cuban Five.
By Raquel Maria García Álvarez
HAVANA, september 8, 2011. - President of the Cuban Parliament Ricardo Alarcon demanded the United States to allow anti-terrorist Gerardo Hernandez access to legal documents for his Habeas Corpus petition.
"We are waiting for the judge to rule on the already filed Gerardo Hernandez and Antonio Guerrero's Habeas Corpus petitions. We will do everything possible for this purpose," said Alarcon.
Hernandez and Guerrero, along with Rene Gonzalez, Ramon Labanino and Fernando Gonzalez are serving harsh, unfair prison sentences for monitoring anti-Cuban terrorist organizations based in South Florida.
At the end of the screening of a documentary on The Cuban Five by US filmmaker Saul Landau, Alarcon said that there is lots of evidence proving Gerardo´s innocence in the incident of 1996. Alarcon said that Washington must show satellite images they have been hiding for fifteen years about the exact location of the incident of February 24, 1996 (the downing of Brothers to the Rescue aircrafts that violated Cuban airspace) for which Gerardo was blamed without evidence.
He said the US must reveal hidden information about the US conspiracy with the so-called journalists of Miami, who libelled about the Cuban anti-terrorists and threatened the members of the jury. (Cubaminrex/Prensa Latina)
