Actions in Favor of the Cuban Five Held in East Timor, Mexico and Japan.
CUBA, September 22, 2010.- The unfair imprisonment in the United States of five Cuban antiterrorist fighters was denounced in East Timor, Mexico and Japan.
East Timor’s National Radio urged President Barack Obama to put an end to the 12-year imprisonment of Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez and Rene Gonzalez, known as the Cuban Five.
Journalist Cipriana Mendona, whose radio program is broadcast nationwide, interviewed Cuban diplomat Arsenio Lesmes about the case.
Lesmes mentioned facts showing the manipulation of the case including paying Miami media outlets to predispose the public opinion against the Cuban Five.
Meanwhile in Mexico, the cultural attaché of the Cuban embassy, Waldo Leyva, read poems dedicated to the Cuban Five in a colloquium held in the city of Merida.
Leyva told participants in the meeting about the work of the Cuban Five to break up sabotage plans against Cuba, emphasizing that they have been unfairly imprisoned for fighting against terrorism.
In related news, Japan’s Kyodo national News agency published an article on its digital version describing the situation of the Cuban revolutionaries.
The article makes reference to the suffering of Adriana Perez and Olga Salanueva, Gerardo Hernandez and Rene Gonzalez’s wives, respectively, who have not ever been able to visit their husbands in prison because Washington refuses to grant them entry visas to the United States. (Cubaminrex-RHC)
