Solidarity-with-Cuba groups availed themselves of the visit of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Kenya to give her letters demanding the immediate release of the five Cuban antiterrorists unjustly incarcerated in her country.

On one of the letters, Mwandawiro Mghanga, president of the Kenya-Cuba Friendship Association and of the Social Democratic Party, reminded Mrs. Clinton about Barack Obama’s promise to work to put an end to his country’s negative legacy in terms of human rights violations, the Juventud Rebelde newspaper reports on Friday.

The second letter, delivered by hand to one of Clinton’s assistants by members of the Kenya-Cuba and Kenya-Venezuela Friendship Associations, demands her intervention to urgently amend several issues of the US foreign policy, related, in a direct way, to the sovereignty of the peoples of the South.

The text also demands the release of the Cuban Five -as they are internationally known-, who have been incarcerated in the US for over a decade and the closing of the US Naval Base in Guantanamo, and condemns the coup d´état in Honduras, besides demanding the Palestinian people’s right to independence.

During a rally carried out by Muslim organizations in Kenya to protest against the presence of the US delegation in that country, Mwandawiro was also the bearer of a message demanding the release of René Gonzalez, Ramón Labañino, Gerardo Hernández, Antonio Guerrero and Fernando Gonzalez, the only crime of which was to defend their homeland from the terrorist actions of Florida-based, anti-Cuban groups.
