In their first bulletin, the Brazilian activists explained the civil and non-profit making nature of their organization whose main goal is strengthening the bonds of friendship existing between Cuba and Brazil, and defending the interests of the peoples around the world, especially in Latin America. The Brazilian organization also paid homage to legendary guerrilla fighter Che Guevara on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of his assassination in Bolivia and promoted the international campaign carried out around the globe to demand the freedom for the five antiterrorist fighters unjustly held in US prisons for over 9 years. Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez, Gerardo Hernandez, Rene Gonzalez and Ramon Labanino were detained in 1998 for trying to prevent terrorist actions organized by right-wing anti-Cuba organizations based in Florida. They were charged with espionage and punished with extremely harsh sentences for crimes they never committed. * ================================================================= NY Transfer News Collective * A Service of Blythe Systems Since 1985 - Information for the Rest of Us Our main website: http://www.blythe.org List Archives: http://blythe-systems.com/pipermail/nytr/ Subscribe: http://blythe-systems.com/mailman/listinfo/nytr =================================================================
