US Revenge Clouds Cuban Five Ruling

Havana, June 7 (Prensa Latina) Rene Gonzalez, one of the five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters unfairly held in US prisons, described as an act of vengeance against Cuba an Atlanta appelate court ruling on June 4 upholding their convictions.

"The baseness of those trying, by this case, to satisfy their instincts of vengeance against our homeland, has been once again discharged on us and our loved ones," he said in a message published Saturday by Granma daily.

Gonzalez questioned the US judicial system and denounced how those representing the law are able to mock their own laws when it comes to acting against Cuba.

At the end of his text, he called on the Cuban people to close ranks in defense of the Revolution as "the only honourable response to this vile act."

'Five Heroes' comdemns this gross act of injustice against the Cuban Five.
