Free The Cuba 5! Picket Action | March 27th | 3pm - 4pm
** Please Forward Widely **
** Sorry for Cross Postings ** *La versión en español sigue a la versión en inglés* ----Monthly picket action to Free the Cuban 5!---- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Tuesday March 27, 2007 3pm-4pm U.S. Consulate 1075 W. Pender St. & Thurlow St. (Downtown Vancouver) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Join us in our ongoing monthly protest actions to demand freedom for the 5 Cuban Heroes. This will be our 15th picket in as many months! We will continue to bring our voices loud and clear to the U.S. consulate, that people in Vancouver and around the world will not rest until the 5 are free. Who are the Cuban 5? Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labanino, Fernando Gonzalez, Rene Gonzalez and Gerardo Hernandez were investigating activities organized by right-wing, anti-Cuban terrorist groups that have organized countless acts of terrorism against the Cuban people with full support of the U.S. government. These acts of terrorism such as bombing airplanes, hotels, and the poisoning of livestock and water reserves have led to the deaths of 3500 innocent Cubans. The 5 Cuban Heroes have been unjustly imprisoned in the U.S. for over 8 years. As well as being heroes of Cuba and all peace loving people, the Cuban 5 are fathers, husbands, sons and brothers who are deeply loved and missed by their families in Cuba. The 5 are allowed to see their families on average once a year. However in the case of Olga Salanueva, Rene’s wife and Adriana Perez, Gerardo’s wife, the U.S. authorities have taken even this basic right away. The two women have been denied visas to the U.S. seven times, which has made it impossible for them to see their husbands. It is necessary that we stand in solidarity with these strong women, and demand visitation rights for the families of the 5, and most importantly demand: FREE THE CUBAN 5 NOW!

Pender St. & Thurlow St. (En el Centro de Vancouver) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Únete a nuestras protestas mensuales por la libertad de los Cinco Héroes Cubano. ¡Este será nuestra 15 ° protesta en 15 meses! Nosotros continuaremos expresando, clara y fuertemente afuera del consulado estadounidense, que hasta no ver los Cinco Héroes Cubanos libres la gente en Vancouver y en todo el mundo no descansra. ¿Quienes son los Cinco Héroes Cubanos? Antonio Guerrero, Ramón Labañino, Fernando González, Rene González y Gerardo Hernández estaban investigando las actividades de grupos terroristas de derecha anticubanos, que han orquestado innumerables actos de terrorismo en contra del pueblo de Cuba con el respaldo completo del gobierno estadounidense. Estos actos de terrorismo, como son bombazos en aviónes y hoteles, y el envenenamiento de ganado y reservas de agua, han causado la muerte de 3500 Cubanos inocentes. Los Cinco Héroes Cubanos han estado encarcelados injustamente en los EE.UU. por mas de 8 años. Además de ser héroes Cubanos y de todas las personas amantes de la paz, ellos son padres, esposos, hijos y hermanos que son profundamente amados y extrañados por sus familias en Cuba. Los Cinco son permitidos ver sus familias, en promedio, una vez al año. Pero en el caso de Olga Salanueva, la esposa de Rene, y Adriana Pérez, la esposa de Gerardo, las autoridades estadounidenses las han privado incluso de este derecho básico. Las dos mujeres han sido negadas visas para los EE.UU. siete veces, que les ha hecho imposible ver a sus esposos. Es necesario que nos paremos en solidaridad con estas dos mujeres fuertes, y demandemos derechos de visita para las familias de los Cinco, y mas importantemente demandar: ¡Liberen a los Cinco!
