U.S Solidarity Brigade Meets with Cuban Five's Relatives

Havana, Jul 20 (acn) Family members of the five Cuban revolutionaries 
unfairly imprisoned in the U.S met Friday with activists with the 38th 
Venceremos Brigade contingent visiting Havana.

The encounter took place at the Julio Antonio Mella International Camp, 
located in the municipality of Caimito, in Havana.

Irma Sehwerert, mother of Rene Gonzalez, one of the five men, said the 
next step in the legal process against her son and his comrades, is an 
oral hearing that has been scheduled for August 30. She  explained that
the 11th Circuit of the Court of Appeals of Atlanta is expected to
state a ruling during the hearing.

Rene, along with Ramon Labanino, Fernando Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero 
and Gerardo Hernandez, are called "The Cuban Five" by the international 
campaign fighting for their freedom. They have been imprisoned for 
nearly nine years now for having infiltrated Miami-based anti-Cuba 
organizations.

Olmer and Aili Labanino, Ramon's father and daughter, as well as nephew 
Yosvel Labanino, took part in the encounter.

The 38th contingent of the Venceremos brigade from the United States 
arrived in Cuba last July 13. The activists will be on their way back 
home following Friday, July 27.
