During the meeting, the parliamentarian took an interest in the situation of Fernando Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labañino, Gerardo Hernandez and Rene Gonzalez, subjected to unfair judicial processes for monitoring the activities of Florida-based anti-Cuban groups.

Magalys Llort, mother of Fernando, updated the European official about the peculiarities of each case and expressed her appreciation for the opportunity to share with friends from around the world the story of The Five.

Rosa Aurora Freijanes, wife of this fighter, explained that two of the best weapons to struggle for their definitive release and their return to Cuba are the spreading of the truth about their case and international solidarity.

Pieters expressed the support of the Belgian Senate, which has issued a resolution against the violation of the human rights of these antiterrorists and condemned the unjust imprisonment.

He added that among the next actions to be carried out in favor of The Five will be the presentation of the case at the Council of Europe, an organization devoted to the protection of human rights, where he hopes to incorporate people who condemn the unfair treatment given to these fighters.

The Belgian parliamentarian is on the island on a work visit, invited by the National Assembly of the Republic of Cuba, and his program includes tours of places of economic, social and cultural interest until April 5.
