Cuban Five Send Happy Birthday Message to Fidel Castro
The five Cuban antiterrorist fighters imprisoned in the US sent Happy Birthday letters to Cuban historical leader Fidel Castro in which they noted: “We’ll never stop being proud heirs to your work.”
The letters sent on the occasion of the 83 birthday anniversary of the Commander in Chief were published today by Granma newspaper.
Fernando Gonzalez, one of the Cuban Five, wished Fidel “all the happiness of the world, as you deserve,” in his message sent from Indiana’s Terre Haute Federal Correctional Center, where he is serving an unfair sentence, like his colleagues.
“It is moving your commitment to the people and mankind expressed through your tireless fight that is today held in the fields of ideas and others, when you could have, justifiably, decided to rest,” said Fernando.
“Being the revolutionary fighter you are, the maker of your own dreams and hopes, the creator of works of justice, I’m sure that you, fairly enough, consider yourself a happy person, and it is that happiness, but multiplied and permanent, that I'm whishing you for today.”
Meanwhile, Rene Gonzalez said in his message that “the Yankee’s latest mean action will not cast a shadow on our spirits depriving us from the happiness of celebrating your birthday together with all the progressive people of the world and as part of your people that admires you and love you.”
He added: “Beyond the meanest actions of our captors, we’ll never stop being proud heirs to your work and bearers of your example. We can promise you that you will never hear from our cells a single expression of regret that would suggest the slightest concession of our principles to such a despicable enemy.”
Another of the five Cuban prisoners, Gerardo Hernandez, sent a message to Fidel accompanied with a drawing that includes the Commander in Chief emblem, and he highlights Fidel’s universal magnitude. In the letter Gerardo wrote: “Your example guides us and we will never stray from our path no matter how long and steep it might be. Happy 83rd Birthday!”
