Tsunami of Messages for the Cuban Five Flood the White House

Thousands of messages arrived at the White House on Friday, demanding the release of the three anti-terrorist Cubans still held in U.S. prisons.

Supporters of the cause of Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labanino, Antonio Guerrero, Rene Gonzalez and Fernando Gonzalez, internationally known as the Cuban Five, are sending their requests to President Barack Obama as an international solidarity action that takes place on the 5th day each month.

The initiative, which is being promoted by the International Committee for the Freedom of the Five, reiterates the demand for justice and urges the White House to return Hernandez, Labanino and Guerrero back to Cuba.

The three Cubans still imprisoned, along with Rene Gonzalez and Fernando Gonzalez -- already in Cuba after serving their prison sentences -- monitored Florida-based violent organizations that planned terrorist actions against the Cuban people. They were submitted to a biased Miami trial that handed down extremely long an unfair sentences in 2001.

The campaign has been joined by renowned personalities, such as Professor Felix Kury, from the University of San Francisco, California, who wrote Obama a letter urging him to use his signature and power to release the three Cuban anti-terrorist fighters.

The current international campaign for the release of Hernandez, Labanino and Guerrero will run until October 6th with actions in over 40 nations of the world.
