Solidarity with Cuban Five in Panama
Panama, May 6, 2010. Cubans living in Panama and organizations in solidarity with the Caribbean country joined up to demand justice for the five Cuban antiterrorist fighters unfairly imprisoned in the United States for 12 years.
The Faculty of Humanities of Panama's University was the stage for calling to apply the international law correctly in this case.
The Association of Cubans Living in Panama expressed its concern for Rene Gonzalez, Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Antonio Guerrero and Fernando Gonzalez, who have been harshly sentenced.
The Five, as they are well-known worldwide, were in the United States collecting information on terrorist attacks planned against Cuba, the group said.
They were avoiding those attacks on the Caribbean country and preserving the lives of US citizens, as well as of people of other nationalities, who have been victims of terrorism, said the association.
