Cuban Five Case Discussed at India University
Havana, Oct 1 (acn) Participants to a symposium held at the Jawaharlal
Nehru University, in New Delhi, condemned the injustices committed
against five Cuban antiterrorist fighters unjustly held in US prisons.
The meeting, called "Struggles and popular movements for an equitable
society", was attended by a large audience of university students,
professors and scholars.
Gerardo Hern!ndez, Antonio Guerrero, Ramn Labaino, Fernando Gonzalez,
and Ren(c) Gonzalez, internationally known as the Cuban Five, were
detained in 1998 for trying to prevent terrorist actions against the
island organized by right-wing anti-Cuba organizations based in
Florida. The Five were charged with espionage and punished with overly
harsh sentences despite the antiterrorist nature of their mission. They
have been in jail in the US for over 9 years now.
Dallamy Daz, official at the Cuban embassy to India, briefed the
audience on the current situation of the Cuban Five and denounced the
US government's policy of double-standard with regards to terrorism.
Diaz noted that the Bush administration has offered protection to
confessed international terrorists such as Luis Posada Carriles while
the Five are kept behind bars for crimes they never committed.
The Cuban diplomat also blasted the economic, financial and commercial
blockade imposed on the island by the successive US administrations
over the last four decades.
Established in 1969, the Jawaharlal Nehru University is a multicultural
institution that today ranks as one of the most prestigious
universities in India and also in Asia.
