‘Free the Cuban 5!’
Published Oct 19, 2008 4:54 PM
The U.S. Consulate in Vancouver, Canada, was the site of a lively picket
line on Oct. 6 as dozens of people demanded freedom for the Cuban 5. Their
signs and chants emphasized that the five Cubans jailed in the United States
are heroes, not criminals, whose job was to keep their country informed of
anti-Cuban terrorist activity. The date marked the anniversary of the bombing
of Cubana flight 455, which killed 73 people in 1976. This deadly act was
reportedly masterminded by the admitted terrorist and former CIA agent Luis
Posada Carriles, who just this May was feted at a gala dinner by right-wingers
in Miami—the same city where the five Cuban heroes were denied a fair
trial.
