Alicia Jrapko, US Coordinator of the International Committee for the
Freedom of the Cuban Five, told ACN news agency, via phone call, that
among other activities they are carrying out in the US capital, several
activists of the Occupy movement will join them on a march in front of the
White House.

“We will be accompanied by Danny Glover, Saúl Landau, Salim Lamrani and
Wayne Smith, among other personalities, and we hope many others join us
today” Jrapko said.

She announced that on Saturday many people who have shown their solidarity
towards the case of the Cuban Five will drive from New York in a four-hour
rally to express their support to the campaign.

Renowned activist Cindy Sheehan will attend the closing day; Jrapko said
and added that all these activities will boost the work they are doing to
secure the freedom of the Cuban patriots.

She said there are three teams of activists that arrived from different
countries are handing out flyers at the metro entrances and other
strategic places throughout the city.

“I think this is the first time that the campaign for the Cuban Five is so
massively spread” she concluded
