According to Juventud Rebelde newspaper, participating at the meeting are
representatives from solidarity committees with the five Cuban
antiterrorists unjustly imprisoned in the U.S. since 1998, trade union
leaders, and jurists from all over the world, as well as accredited
diplomats to Havana.

As of Friday, about 15,000 women will carry out a walk in solidarity with
Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labañino, Gerardo Hernandez, Fernando Gonzalez and
Rene Gonzalez, through the municipalities of Calixto Garcia, Gibara,
Rafael Freyre, Baguano and Banes in representation of all Cuban women.

The Granma newspaper published statements by a member of the Socialist
Workers Party of the U.S., Martin Koppel, where he highlighted Rene
Gonzalez’s firm decision to continue fighting for the release of his
fellowmen.

Koppel affirmed that the additional supervised release imposed on Rene
illustrates the lack of willingness of the U.S. government to make justice
with these antiterrorists.

The president of the Pathfinder Press publishing house, American
Mary-Alice Waters, taking part for the second time in this annual event,
will contribute with the cause of the Cuban Five by spreading the truth on
their case.

The Seventh International Colloquium to Free the Cuban Five will also
develop a panel called “The people of the world accuse Luis Posada
Carriles”, on Thursday, to demand a fair trial for the confessed author of
the bombing of a mid-air Cuban civil airplane, where all passengers on
board were killed.
