American Lawyers Pass Resolution on Cuban Five
Havana, Nov 20 (acn) Members of U.S' National Lawyers Guild endorsed a
call for an international investigation into their government's failure
to address the denial of justice in the case of the Five Cubans, who
have been unfairly imprisoned for more than nine years.
Gathered on their 70th annual conference in Wa****ngton DC, the American
lawyers passed Monday, November 19, a resolution sup****ting their call.
The do***ent briefly reviews the case and points to the Cuban and
international efforts to achieve the release of the five men, which
have gone unheard.
It also compares the Cubans' case to that of terrorist Posada Carriles,
known as being the mastermind of several acts of terrorism against
Cuban government's leaders and people.
Likewise, the resolution mentions the human rights violations committed
against the Five. It explains that they have been subjected to solitary
confinement without enough reasons sup****ting the measure, and that
they are not allowed to receive family visits, as the U.S government
keeps denying entry visas to Gerardo Hernandez' wife Adriana Perez, and
Rene Gonzalez' Olga Salanueva.
Finally, the lawyers called upon the American government to either
release the Cuban prisoners or provide them with a new trial and to
immediately grant entry permit to the wives of the two Cubans. They
also asked the U.S media to significantly cover the case and urged the
UN's Human Rights Commission to lead a probe into the American
government for its lack of compliance.
