The Final Declaration of the Forum, which brought together in Havana more than 180 representatives of youth organizations and movements from 33 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and The Americas since Saturday, calls not to cease the demand so US President Barack Obama puts an end to the cruel imprisonment of these five heroic men.


Liudmila Alamo, member of the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party and of the Council of State of the Republic of Cuba, and first secretary of the Young Communists League read the document, a real declaration of principles and a program of action to break the wall of silence around the case of these patriots.


The release of Gerardo Hernandez, Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labañino and Fernando and Rene Gonzalez is not only a task of Cuba, but a commitment we youngsters of the world assume, called by their dignity and heroism, an example and inspiration for those who struggle against imperialism and terrorism, for peace and justice, reads the Declaration.


Likewise, it expresses the willingness of youngsters of multiplying, by way of all means and forums possible, the actions of solidarity and this battle, essentially political, intensify pressure and the demand for their release and the world campaign in favor of five innocent men and their relatives, also the victims of such colossal injustice.

 

Likewise, to emphasize the spreading of the case of The Five, the large amount of arguments and evidence of their absolute innocence, the reasons for their presence in the US, the judicial farce, manipulations and arbitrariness to inform the truth to the world, to sensitize and mobilize public opinion, will also be essential.
This call to struggle also highlights the demand for Miami-Based terrorist organizations and the protection of the US government to be dismantled, and the end of impunity for the assassins of the peoples.


Attending the closing of the event were Kenia Serrano, president of the Cuban Institute for Friendship with the Peoples; Graciela Ramirez, coordinator of the International Committee for the Freedom of The Five; and relatives of Tony, Gerardo, Rene, Ramon and Fernando.
