Latin American Forum Will Demand Release of Cuban Five

Havana, Oct 3 (acn) Participants in the Second Annual Latin Congress 
2007, scheduled for Los Angeles, California, will demand the immediate 
release of the five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters imprisoned in the 
United States.

Participating in the forum will be personalities such as attorney Jose 
Pertierra, who represents the government of Venezuela in its petition 
of extradition of self-confessed terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, and 
Leonard Weinglass, one of the attorneys of the defense team of Gerardo 
Hernandez, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez, Ramon LabaC1ino and Rene 
Gonzalez, internationally known as the Cuban Five, who remain unjustly 
imprisoned in the United States nine years after they were detained for 
infiltrating terrorist anti-Cuba organizations based in Florida.

According to the website www.antiterroristas.cu, members of the 
International Committee for the Release of the Cuban Five will 
participate in a round table to give details about the case and to 
present books, videos and other materials on the case.

The so-called 'war on terror' and its consequences for the 'latinos' in 
the United States will be one of the main topics to be discussed in the 
meeting that will coincide with the 31st anniversary of the mid-air 
bombing of a Cubana airliner on October 6, 1976, that cost the lives of 
73 people and which was masterminded by Luis Posada Carriles.

Also present in the forum will be the executive director of the 
Interreligious Organization Pastors for Peace, Reverend Lucius Walker, 
and the executive director of the Cuban-American Alliance of 
Educational Funds, Delvis Fernandez.

Other topics that will be discussed during the forum include the 
importance of the vote of 'latinos' in the United States, Washington's 
foreign and economic policies and their consequences for Latin American 
immigrants as well as the migratory reform and climate change.
