April:  A Significant Month in the Struggle for the Freedom of the Cuban 5

Only a few days ago René Gonzalez was allowed to 
travel to his homeland, but only for two short 
weeks to visit his brother Roberto, who is 
seriously ill. We share in the joy of this 
reunion with his loved ones, but there will be no 
definitive justice in the case of the Cuban 5 
until René, Gerardo, Ramón, Antonio and Fernando 
unconditionally return to Cuba.

On this April 5 we find ourselves preparing for 5 
Days for the Cuban 5 in Washington DC April 17-21.

Participants in the various events will include 
Dolores Huerta, Cindy Sheehan, Danny Glover, 
Wayne Smith, Saul Landau, Mavis Anderson, José 
Pertierra, James Early, Salim Lamrani, Norman 
Paech, Stephen Kimber, Gordon Brian Gordon 
Sinclair and many others.

Committees who are in solidarity with Cuba and 
work on the struggle to free the Cuban 5 
from  all over Canada and Europe are sending 
delegations to join us during these days in Washington.

Large numbers of well known personalities and 
solidarity organizations from the U.S. and the 
world are sending their endorsements and 
solidarity messages

List up to 3-31-12

For example, renowned writer and Nobel Peace 
Prize recipient Adolfo Pérez Esquivel commented 
recently on our movement; "First of all I would 
like to recognize all the solidarity and support 
to the international campaign for the release of 
five Cubans in prison of the United States. I 
want to demand that the American people, the 
Congress and fundamentally President Barack Obama 
release the Cuban 5, and that they  lift the 
embargo against Cuba. These are unjust and 
immoral acts; they undermine the right of 
people's self-determination.  It is a simple but 
profound request that comes not from just one 
person but from thousands of people in the world".

We are making a special appeal to all committees 
in solidarity with the Five, from all parts of 
the world, to organize parallel activities at 
some time during April 17-21. This will send a 
strong message of solidarity and show the true 
international character of the movement to free the Cuban 5.

REMEMBER ON THURSDAY APRIL 5, ASK PRESIDENT OBAMA 
TO IMMEDIATELY FREE THE CUBAN 5
