WHO ARE THE CUBAN 5 ?

These men were arrested for defending their country Cuba from a terrorist based group in Miami on September 1998, and were convicvted in June 2001 in a U.S federal court. Their prison terms range from 15 years to double life sentences, and some have even been denied visitation from their family members for several years. The U. S government charged them with espionage against U.S military bases, and threatening national security in a politicaly charged trial in Miami. These charges by the U.s government are false. They wanted to protect the national sovereignty of cuba. The Cuban five only monitered the actions of right wing terrorist groups in Miami by infiltrating them. These orginizations or sponcored by the CIA, and are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people not only in Cuba but in other countries as well. Cuba has offered information to the U.S government to comabt these terrorist orginizations, but the U.S repeatedly declined to cooperate with Cuba (for obvious reasons). It was impossible for the cuban five to recieve a fair trial in Miami. While being under the constant threat of Cuban right wing terrorist orginizations in Miami their attorneys asked for a change of venue, but were denied. U.S government officials, the judge and prosecution supressed defence evidence, and key witnesses for the defence could not testify. Oral arguments were heard at the 11 circuit court of appeals for a change of venue on March, 10, 2004, and the court has yet to make a decision. Please help free the Cuban 5.http://www.freethecuban5.com/ FreethecubanFIVE@hotmail.com, ProLibertad@Hotmail.com , http://www.prolibertadweb.com/ sign the following petition http://www.petitiononline.com/Cuban5/petition.html
