Salvadoran Vice President Demands Freedom for the Cuban Five.

CUBA, September 8, 2010.-  Salvadoran Vice President Salvador Sanchez Ceren demanded the immediate release of the five Cuban antiterrorists who remain unjustly imprisoned in the United States.

Ceren, speaking during the closing session of the 3rd Conference in Solidarity with Cuba in San Salvador said, “We are going to work hard for the freedom of the Cuban heroes imprisoned in US jails.”

Similar events took place in eight cities of this Central American nation and were attended by more than one thousand delegates, including intellectual and political personalities as well as Rosa Aurora Freijanes, the wife of Fernando Gonzalez Llort, one of the five Cuban antiterrorists imprisoned since 1998. Members of the Cuban medical brigade in El Salvador and Cubans residents in this country also participated in the conference.

Ceren described the 48 years during which El Salvador didn’t have relations with Cuba as a “big diplomatic mistake.” The break in the relations of the two countries ended on June 1, 2009, when the current government decided to re-establish diplomatic ties with the island.

Ceren said, “We are going to defend Cuba in this smear campaign launched by right-wing groups and we are going to protect the ideas of the Revolution.” She also condemned Washington’s almost 50-year-old economic blockade of Cuba.

The Salvadoran vice president also urged participants to join the struggle to avoid a nuclear war in the Middle East, as called for by the leader of Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro. (Cubaminrex-RHC)
