Solidarity: Key in Cuban Antiterrorists Re-sentence

Fernando Gonzalez and Ramon Labañino, who are two of the five Cubans imprisoned in the United States for more than 11 years, will receive on Tuesday new sentences thanks to a broad international solidarity movement that struggle for their cause.

Fernando was sentenced to 19 years in prison and Ramon to prison for life plus 18 years.

The person that does not look for secret information is not a spy and that is the first evidence of the injustice that was committed, affirmed recently President of Cuban Parliament Ricardo Alarcon , who thinks that solidarity played an important role in the 22-year sentence reduction of Antonio Guerrero, another of the imprisoned antiterrorists.

Fernando monitored the group of Orlando Bosch, who is a Cuban-born terrorist responsible, along with Luis Posada Carriles, for the explosion of a Cuban civil plane in 1976 that caused the death of its 73 passengers.

Bosch and Posada Carriles walk freely in the United States while the Cuban Five have suffered many unjust acts in maximum security jails, recalled Alarcon.

The re-sentence could alleviate the situation of the Cuban prisoners that are in maximum security jails, even though the just thing would be that all were released because they did not commit a crime, they just warned Cuba of the terrorist danger, he said.
