April: A Significant Month in the Struggle for the Freedom of the Cuban 5

Only a few days ago René Gonzalez was allowed to
travel to his homeland, but only for two short
weeks to visit his brother Roberto, who is
seriously ill. We share in the joy of this
reunion with his loved ones, but there will be no
definitive justice in the case of the Cuban 5
until René, Gerardo, Ramón, Antonio and Fernando
unconditionally return to Cuba.

On this April 5 we find ourselves preparing for 5
Days for the Cuban 5 in Washington DC April 17-21.

Participants in the various events will include
Dolores Huerta, Cindy Sheehan, Danny Glover,
Wayne Smith, Saul Landau, Mavis Anderson, José
Pertierra, James Early, Salim Lamrani, Norman
Paech, Stephen Kimber, Gordon Brian Gordon
Sinclair and many others.

List up to 3-31-12

For example, renowned writer and Nobel Peace
Prize recipient Adolfo Pérez Esquivel commented
recently on our movement; "First of all I would
like to recognize all the solidarity and support
to the international campaign for the release of
five Cubans in prison of the United States. I
want to demand that the American people, the
Congress and fundamentally President Barack Obama
release the Cuban 5, and that they lift the
embargo against Cuba. These are unjust and
immoral acts; they undermine the right of
people's self-determination. It is a simple but
profound request that comes not from just one
person but from thousands of people in the world".

We are making a special appeal to all committees
in solidarity with the Five, from all parts of
the world, to organize parallel activities at
some time during April 17-21. This will send a
strong message of solidarity and show the true
international character of the movement to free the Cuban 5.
