Amaury Torno, delegate of the Cuban Friendship Institute (ICAP) in this territory, announced that the list of participants includes lawyers, journalists, parliamentarians and religious leaders interested in spreading the truth about the case of Rene Gonzalez, Ramon Labanino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez and Gerardo Hernandez – internationally known as the Cuban Five.

Dimitri Agiomavritis, of Greek origin, who is already in Holguin, said that this is the fourth event of this kind that he attends. “I will always be a revolutionary. I am against savage capitalism that facilitates atrocities like this one in which these five men remain in prison while a terrorist such as Luis Posada Carriles is free,” he added.

“Cuba’s struggle will always be my struggle because it is incredible how, for almost 50 years, you have resisted an economic blockade by the biggest empire of history,” he stressed.

The Cuban Five were arrested in Miami in 1998 and they were given harsh and unjust sentences after a biased trial for monitoring anti-Cuba extremist groups that were planning and carrying out terrorist attacks from South Florida against the Caribbean nation.
