Social groups in Canada reaffirmed their willingness to step up actions this year for the immediate, unconditional release of five anti-terrorist Cuban fighters unfairly held in US prisons since 1998 for monitoring Miami-based anti-Cuban groups.
Noah Fine, coordinator of the Free The Five Committee in Vancouver, said that on the fifth day of every month, his organization will plan protests to demand the return home of Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labanino, Fernando Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero and Rene Gonzalez.
Thomas Davies, from the Group of Solidarity with Cuba in Vancouver, echoed this purpose while noting that support to the case of these heroes has increased around the world with new initiatives to spread the truth about The Cuban Five, as they are known worldwide.
Fine and Davies made their remarks during a gathering outside the Vancouver fine arts gallery as part of the global campaign for the release of The Cuban Five.
Participants also demanded the return of Rene (now under a three-year supervised release) to Cuba, and the granting of visas to his wife Olga Salanueva, and to Gerardo´s wife, Adriana Perez, so they can visit them in the United States.
Protesters also joined a twitter campaign on Saturday, when individuals, as well as press, political and social organizations from Brazil, Argentina, France, the United States, Canada, Nicaragua, Mexico, Colombia and Cuba, among other countries, posted comments supporting The Cuban Five.
