by The Free the Cuban 5 Committee-Vancouver
On June 15th 2009, the Supreme Court of the United States announced its decision not to review the case of the Cuban 5. Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labanino, Rene Gonzalez, Fernando Gonzalez and Gerardo Hernandez, have been unjustly imprisoned in U.S. Jails for over 10 years. Their crime? Investigating U.S. sponsored right wing, anti-Cuban terrorist organizations in Miami that are responsible for the deaths of over 3,400 innocent Cubans.

The numerous evidence presented to the Court exposed the fact that the 5 Cuban men could not have attained a fair trial in Miami, the centre for anti-Cuban terrorism. Despite the international cry for justice from millions of people around the world, including 10 Nobel Lauriat’s, National Parliaments and the former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the US Supreme Court has rejected the request for reviewing the case of Cuban 5 political prisoners in US jails.

This June 15 decision to deny justice to the 5 Cuban heroes has made it unquestionably clear that the case of our 5 Cuban brothers has been, from the very beginning, a political case. Thus, let us make no mistake about it; it is a case that must be won through waging a nonstop struggle based on a strong and consistent campaign. We must increase our efforts multiply and intensify our work world wide to build a mass movement to free the 5 heroes.
