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.

Colin Powell Aide denounces Injustices against Cuban Five

Havana, Sep 24 (Prensa Latina) Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to US General Colin Powell, published an open letter where he denounces injustices committed against the Cuban Five and calls for public protests in support of the five anti-terrorists imprisoned by Bush´s government.

The report published today in Granma daily says Wilkerson, a retired US Army colonel and assistant to former Secretary of State Powell, said he based his courageous stance on the Five largely on his extensive knowledge of the George W. Bush administration.

Wilkerson said he became convinced that defending the Five was a just cause after attending a Sept.12 lecture by defense attorney Leonard Weinglass at Howard University Law School.
