The call, promoted by the Peruvian Committee for Solidarity with The Five, points out the urgent need for citizens, progressive people and democratic sectors to redouble their solidarity with their cause, the Prensa Latina news agency reports.

Likewise, the document highlights that the defense of the Cuban heroes has found a new path for their case to be reopened and that a possibility of attention to the international demands for the release of these brave peace fighters is opening.

The text adds that a judicial procedure at US courts is pending, which is urgent, also taking into consideration the delicate state of health of Gerardo Hernandez, condemned to two life imprisonments plus 15 years.

Gerardo, Fernando Gonzalez, Ramon Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, and Rene Gonzalez were arrested on September 12, 1998, and subjected to a biased trial in Miami, in which harsh sentences were imposed on them for monitoring the activities of violent groups that organized terrorist acts against Cuba from Florida.

The personalities who joined the call asserted that once more a call will be made to the US government, particularly to its President Barack Obama, so the voice of the world demanding attention to this fair request is heard.

Poets Arturo Corchera and Marco Martos, journalists German Carnero and Alberto Vega, the president of the Peruvian Committee for Solidarity with The Five, Gustavo Espinoza; writer Oswaldo Reinoso and educator and former Education Minister Gloria Helfer, among others, are some of the signatories.
