About the illegal imprisonment of the five Cuban Political prisoners in the USA
To all peace-loving people of the world!
The World Peace Council is drawing the attention of the peace loving people of the world, about the internationally well-known legal and humanitarian scandal of the imprisonment of the five Cuban patriots in the USA, which have been sentenced heavily for espionage and conspiracy, while tried in Miami some eight years ago.
The WPC denounces this unlawful twist of the truth, although it was clear that the five Cuban patriots were collecting information against the Cuban-American mafia circles of Miami, who were preparing terror acts against Cuba.
Since then, many judicial and political efforts have been carried out, both inside the USA and allover the world. The mobilizations in support of the five Cuban citizens Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez, Gerardo Hernandeez, Ramon Labañino and Rene Gonzalez, are growing in dozens of countries.
Millions and millions of people are getting to know every day the truth behind this criminal conspiracy of political revenge and silence. Even US courts are ruling that the decisions of the Miami court were null and void.
The case of the 'five' has been used by the US administration in order to justify its war drive, its 'war against terror', and its imperialist policy against the peoples of the world and against Cuba in particular. It provokes feelings of anger and fury to us in the WPC, but also to any democratic and open minded person on earth, when the US administration is referring to 'terrorism' while being the biggest terrorist on the planet.
The WPC considers the imprisonment of the five Cuban political prisoners, as a flagrant violation of Human Rights and of International law. We demand their immediate release from the US prisons.
We call upon all Peace Movements worldwide, to unite their voices with the Cuban Peace Movement in our common demand for justice, against the imperialist manipulation of truth. US imperialism will not be able to carry on its cynical and arbitrary policy for ever.
The united power of the peoples can and will impose their rights and needs!
Hands off Cuba!
