Opposes Gerardo Hernandez Habeas Corpus Motion <br><br>
</font><font face="Verdana" size=4>HAVANA, Cuba, Apr 26 (acn) The US

<font face="Verdana" size=2> The filing
requests the US district court of the Southern District of Florida to
deny the motion without evidentiary hearing and to rely on its own
recollection of the previous trial.<br><br>
The government’s opposition is a 123-page and three-annex document
filed on Monday by DA Caroline Heck Millar, who led the prosecution
against Gerardo Hernadez in the 2001 biased trial and asked for his
two-life term plus 15 year sentence.<br><br>
Heck Miller also asked harsh sentences for Ramón Labañino, René
Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero and Fernando Gonzalez in that trial. The Cuban
Five, as they are known internationally, were arrested in 1998 for
monitoring Miami-based anti-Cuban terrorist organizations.<br><br>
She refused to try confessed terrorist Luis Posada Carriles in
2005.<br><br>
Cuban Parliament President Ricardo Alarcón recently spoke to the press on
the habeas corpus filed by Gerardo Hernandez at the Florida court to
vacate, set aside or correct his sentence.<br><br>
In this document Gerardo gives details of the circumstances that
deprived him of having an effective defense in the 2001 trial to face the
charge of conspiracy to commit murder in the incident of the 1996
shootdown of two aircrafts that violated Cuba’s airspace.<br><br>
The US government has consistently refused to show available
images that would prove the veracity of Gerardo’s claims, said
Alarcon.<br><br>
In his motion, Gerardo asks the court to allow him to prove the
erroneous interpretations the government made of the evidence and let the
jury know the truth, concluded Alarcon.<br>
