HAVANA, Cuba, Sep 11 (acn) Some 300 delegates from 50 nations are attending the 10th International Colloquium with the Cuban Five and against Terrorism, which runs Thursday and Friday at Havana's Conventions Center.
The forum is part of a world campaign underway since September 4 till October 6 in 47 countries, where activists are demanding the release of Antonio Guerrero, Gerardo Hernandez and Ramon Labañino, three of the five Cuban antiterrorist fighters who are still being held in US prisons since 1998.
The program includes a panel with relatives of the five Cubans while activists will draw up new strategies and action plans to keep demanding the release of the anti-terrorist fighters.
Meanwhile, on September 12 activists in Washington D.C. will hold a vigil in front of the White House, said Graciela Ramirez, president of the International Committee in Solidarity with the Cuban Five.
Ramirez said that vigil will be backed by demonstrations in front of several US embassies around the world.
Gerardo Hernadez, Ramon Labanino and Antonio Guerrero, along with Rene Gonzalez and Fernando Gonzalez, all known as the Cuban Five, were imprisoned in 1998 and submitted to a biased Miami trial later that gave them unfair prison sentences after they monitored Florida-based violent organizations that designed terrorist actions against Cuba. Rene Gonzalez and Fernando Gonzalez returned to Cuba after fully serving their sentences and are now fully involved in actions for the release of their three compatriots held in US prisons.
