Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando González
and René González, known as the Cuban Five, are five men who were
wrongly accused and convicted of “conspiracy to commit espionage” and other
fabricated charges in a U.S. Federal Court, following their arrest and
imprisonment in 1998. The Five were, in fact, unarmed men involved in
monitoring Miami-based terrorist organizations, which are responsible for
having caused the deaths of over 3,400 people in Cuba since 1959, including a
resident of Canada, Fabio di Celmo, in 1997. The Cuban Five’s efforts
successfully prevented further deaths in Cuba.
A great victory for
justice-loving people all over the world occurred in April of 2013 when René
González permanently returned to Cuba, and again in February of 2014 when Fernando
González was also released, after serving his sentence, to the arms of his
family and of the Cuban people.
Gerardo, Ramón and Antonio remain unjustly in U.S. prison,
serving sentences of up to double-life plus 15 years, but we are confident that
through solidarity, consistency and united action, we can help end this
injustice and welcome the day when ALL of the Cuban Five will be free!
