Mexican Jurists Agree to Collaborate on Case of the Cuban Five

Havana, Sept 26 (ACN) Mexican jurists agreed to work together with Cuba 
for the liberation of five Cuban men unfairly imprisoned in the US.

Members of the Mexican Jurists Union and the National Jurists Union of 
Cuba recently penned an agreement that includes the support of the case 
of the Cuban Five.

Jose Eduardo Torres, secretary of Education of the Mexican Jurists 
Union said Cuban and Mexican lawyers will strengthen bonds in the legal 
field, while increasing collaborative actions, reported Prensa Latina.

"For that reason we demand that justice be served in the case of 
Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labanino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez 
and Rene Gonzalez," who have been held in jails since 1998 after being 
sentenced in a fraudulent trial in the American city of Miami, said 
Torres.

Mexican jurists decry the arbitrary acts committed against the Cuban 
Five, who had the mission of warning Cuba of criminal activities 
planned by Miami-based terrorist groups, added Torres.

Torres contrasted the treatment of the Five's case to that of 
international terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, who was set free by US 
authorities despite his long criminal record.
