BULLETIN: Cuban 5 appeal denied, protests set
Published Jun 5, 2008 12:03 AM
June 4—As the Cuban Five near the end of their 10th year of unjust
imprisonment, the 11th Circuit Court denied their latest appeal today. A
three-judge panel upheld all convictions but ruled that the Miami trial judge
must re-sentence Antonio Guerrero, Ramón Labañino, and Fernando
González, who are serving life sentences.
The Cuban Five were jailed for monitoring Miami-based CIA-backed
paramilitaries, who planned violent attacks on the Five’s homeland, Cuba.
Meanwhile Luis Posada Carriles, who in 1976 organized the first mid-air bombing
of a passenger airliner, killing 73 people aboard Cubana 455, walks free in
Miami.
Demonstrations demanding immediate freedom for the five heroes begin on
Thursday, June 5. Make your voice heard! For more information on demonstrations
