Amado Riol, head of the Press Office of the island’s diplomatic mission to the fraternal country, told ACN that the actions were also organized by the Mexican Solidarity-with-Cuba Movement, and included debates on legal aspects of the case of Fernando Gonzalez, Rene Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero, Gerardo Hernandez and Ramon Labañino, and panels.
 

The event’s program, published by the Foundation’s Web site, also included the performance of Cuban actors, troubadours and poets, like Vicente Feliu, Corina Mestre, Augusto Blanca, Pepe Ordas, Lazaro Garcia and Waldo Leyva.
 

The campaign’s official Web page (www.rosalux.org.mx) broadcast activities live, and social networks like Facebook called upon people to participate.    
 

Known internationally as The Five, Gerardo, Rene, Antonio, Ramon and Fernando were arrested on September, 1998, when they were monitoring the criminal activities of Florida-based anti-Cuban groups.
 

After a biased trial held in Miami, these antiterrorist fighters were given sentences ranging from 15 years to two life imprisonments plus 15 years.
