Havana, Aug 14 (Prensa Latina) Members of the 17th Latin American and Caribbean Cuba Solidarity Brigade visiting this capital denounced the unjust U.S. imprisonment of the antiterrorist fighters known as the Cuban Five.
During a meeting on Friday with relatives of the Cuban Five, held in U.S. prisons since September 1998, the solidarity group�s members demanded their immediate release by Washington.
Rene Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero, Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino and Fernando Gonzalez are currently serving harsh sentences for preventing Miami-based terrorist groups from organizing actions against Cuba.
In a statement, the solidarity group also condemned the White House-imposed economic, financial and trade blockade of Cuba for the last 50 years.
The statement called for the creation of social networks and to use the media more efficiently for this cause, the National News Agency reported.
Since arriving on August 1, the 91-member solidarity brigade has carried out an extensive program of activities, including volunteer agricultural work.
