paid Cuban international scholarships – at the Latin American School of
Medicine (ELAM), the world’s largest medical university, located near
Havana. The graduates, themselves from
rural and poor communities in Latin America , Africa , Asia , and the United States , describe
their subsequent experiences bringing affordable, quality medical care to

Festival of Cuban Films for Freedom for the Cuban Five, marking the
15th anniversary of their wrongful imprisonment in the United States
September 12, 2013 is the 15th
anniversary of the arrest of the Cuban Five.
These five men who harmed no one
have been unjustly held in U.S. prisons
under extraordinarily harsh,
politically motivated sentences.
Their only “crime” was to
protect their homeland, Cuba, from repeated
terrorist attacks engineered in
Florida. The continued imprisonment of the
Five is an international outrage.
They must be released!
On this 15th anniversary of the
wrongful arrest of the Five, the international
movement for their freedom is
rallying many thousands of people behind
this call ― at protests,
pickets, and a myriad of other actions. In
Toronto ,
join us as we raise our voices loudly to demand freedom for the Five!
join us as we raise our voices loudly to demand freedom for the Five!
Free the Cuban Five! End the injustice!
