Puerto Rican Organizations to Demand Release of Cuban Five

Havana, August 10 (acn) Puerto Rican progressive organizations are 
organizing a rally in San Juan, the country's capital, on August 19th 
to demand justice for the five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters who remain 
unjustly imprisoned in the United States.

Since September 12, 1998, Fernando Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero, Gerardo 
Hernandez, Ramon LabaC1ino and Rene Gonzalez - the Cuban Five, as they 
are internationally known - are in prison for having infiltrated 
anti-Cuba terrorist groups in Miami and passing on information to the 
Cuban government about their terrorist plans against the people on the 
island.

The rally, that will take place in front of the former Federal Court in 
the Old San Juan, is being organized by the students of the Eugenio 
Maria Hostos Law School, the organization of Pro-Independence Law 
Students (EDPI), the Hostosiano National Pro-Independence Movement, The 
New School, the Socialist Front, and others.

These organizations have expressed their unconditional support of the 
cause of Cuban Five who have been in prison for almost nine years.

According to Leonardo Cruz Morales, spokesman of the Hostosiano 
National Pro-Independence Movement, the process against the Five was 
biased and full of violations.
