‘Free the Cuban 5’

Martha Grevatt speaks on Cuban 5.

Activists from all over Cleveland packed the ACLU headquarters March 13 for the city’s premier showing of “Mission Against Terror,” a film telling the story of five Cuban heroes who gathered intelligence against Miami-based anti-communist Cuban exiles who plotted terrorist attacks against Cuba. The Five are now imprisoned as spies in the U.S.

The Rev. Joan Campbell, former head of the National Council of Churches, who travels to Cuba regularly and has met the families of the Cuban Five, moved the audience to tears with her remarks.

Many expressed interest in further activity locally to support the Five, and $300 was collected for their defense.
