Patriotic attitude of the five Cuban heroes highlighted

PUERTO Rican lawyer Rafael Anglada-López has transmitted his impression of recent meetings with the five Cuban patriots imprisoned in the United States to their families.

He also referred to their current state of health after the vexation and torture of the severe period of solitary confinement, and messages that they have sent to their loved ones and all the people.

The veteran jurist affirmed that in each of his individual meetings with the five he found much uprightness, heroism and patriotism, that their messages seem coordinated and thus the distance imposed between them in order to weaken their integrity has not succeeded in disuniting them.

Anglada-López believes that it is their physical, emotional and moral fortitude that is giving them the strength to resist the aberrant rigors of prison and the daily arbitrary actions against them despite their model behavior among the prison population, which has been acknowledged in their periodic assessments.

His many anecdotes of this lightning tour of the five prisons include a mayor’s aide trying to draw similarities between René González’s case and that of the terrorists incarcerated for the first explosion in the Twin Towers building.

When Anglada-López commented on that to René, the Cuban reacted immediately by saying: "that is to confusing certain terrorists with us when we have been incarcerated for fighting against terrorism." (AIN)
