In a meeting at the headquarters of that entity, Andean deputy Gloria
Florez welcomed Fernando Gonzalez’s -one of the Cuban Five- wife Rosa
Aurora Freijanes, on behalf of her colleagues, social and women
organizations of Colombia.

Florez said without the Cuban people’s determination and integrity, Latin
America would not have a light of hope and stressed that the Andean
Parliament’s fight for the return of Gerardo Hernandez, Antonio Guerrero,
Fernando Gonzalez, Ramon Labañino and Rene Gonzalez –known as the Cuban
Five- is unstoppable.

Florez said the only crime committed by the Cuban Five was to dream about
and defend the freedom of a people that has lived under the threat of
terrorism for more than five decades by the United States.

Rosa Aurora addressed the audience among which were also the Cuban
ambassador to Colombia, Ivan Mora, and other members of the diplomatic
mission, as well as artists, musicians and human rights activists.

Previously, Bogotá’s mayor Clara Lopez had described the injustices
committed against the Cuban Five as shameful.

After listening to Aurora Freijanes’ statements, Lopez said she was very
upset after knowing the details on the case, PL reported.

Lopez met with Freijanes at her office in the Liévano Palaca, located in
the centrally located Bolivar square in Bogotá.
