Adriana Perez, the wife of Gerardo Hernandez, one of five Cuban antiterrorist fighters unjustly held in U.S. prison for over 14 years, ended a visit to Bolivia, where President Evo Morales supported the cause for their release.

Perez, who arrived in Bolivia last Wednesday for a five-day visit, traveled to Vallegrande and La Higuera to pay tribute to Argentine-Cuban guerrilla commander Ernesto Che Guevara, who was assassinated in La Higuera in October 1967.

With her visit to La Higuera, Perez ended her visit to Bolivia, where she granted interviews to local media and met with government officials, including President Evo Morales and directors of Bolivian media organizations, who expressed their support for the cause of the Cuban Five, as Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Rene Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero and Fernando Gonzalez are known internationally.

She also met with members of the Cuban medical brigade that offers its services free of charge to the Bolivian people, and briefed them on the situation of the Five.

For his part, President Morales promised to send a letter to U.S. President Barack Obama to demand the release of the Five, whose cause he has defended repeatedly since he took office in 2006.

The Five were arrested in 1998 in the United States and sentenced to lengthy prison terms for warning about the terrorist activities against Cuba by South Florida-based violent groups financed by Washington, in a rigged trial in Miami, where U.S. and international law was violated.
