Members of the Committee for the Freedom of the Five of the locality of Eldorado and students of Havana’s Latin American Medical School demanded the return home of Gerardo Hernandez, Rene Gonzalez, Ramon Labañino, Fernando Gonzalez and Antonio Guerrero, the Prensa Latina news agency reported.

These heroic fighters against terrorism were arrested in the United States on September 12, 1998, and condemned in Miami to harsh sentences for the only offense of trying to prevent crimes against the Caribbean island.

Between Cuban flags and posters demanding the immediate return of The Five to their homeland, the young activists offered details of the biased trial to which Gerardo, Rene, Ramon, Fernando and Tony were subjected, adds the source.

On board of the train carrying tourists to the Devil’s Throat, they also distributed brochures explaining the injustice committed against these selfless antiterrorists.
