*The Cuban Five are five Cuban men who are in U.S. prisons serving four life sentences and 75 years collectively after being arrested in September 1998 and wrongly convicted in U.S. federal court in Miami in 2001. They are: Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labanino, Antonio Guererro, Fernando Gonzalez and Rene Gonzalez.
*They were falsely accused by the U.S. government of committing espionage conspiracy against the United States. and related charges. But the Five pointed out vigorously in their defense that they were fighting terrorism- they were monitoring the actions of CIA-backed Miami-based terrorist groups, in order to prevent attacks on Cuba.
*The Five's actions were never directed at the U.S. government. They never harmed anyone nor ever possessed nor used any weapons while in the United States.
*On 9 separate occasions, the U.S. government has denied entry visas to the Adriana Perez and- Olga Salanueva to visit their imprisoned husbands. It has been almost 10 years since they last embraced.
Their visitation rights must be respected!
