The
postcards carry a request by 10 Nobel Prize laureates demanding the
immediate release of Rene Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labaņino,
Gerardo Hernandez and Fernando Gonzalez internationally known as
the Cuban Five -, who infiltrated terrorist organizations in South
Florida to prevent criminal actions against the Caribbean nation,
reported the news agency Prensa Latina.
The Free the Five International Committee, promoter of the
initiative, announced that friends and solidarity groups from
Germany, Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, Lebanon, Spain, France,
Guatemala, Ireland, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay and
Venezuela, among others, have joined in the campaign.
The Cuban Five were tried and sentenced in Miami after a biased and
politicized process.
This city was also the venue of re-sentencing hearings for three of
the Cuban antiterrorists last October and December. Ramon Labaņino
was convicted to 30 years; Antonio Guerrero, to 21 years and 10
months; and Fernando Gonzalez, to 17 years and nine months.
Meanwhile, Gerardo Hernandez and Rene Gonzalez were not included in
this re-sentencing process. Hernandez was sentenced to two life
terms plus 15 years, while Gonzalez was convicted to 15 years in
prison.
