I want you free

Timor-Leste, Palestine,

route in support of the Cuban Five

HAVANA.— Under the banner of " Yo te
quiero libre," (I want you free) five young members
of an initiative called a bicicletazo
departed from Havana’s Central Park, August 13, to
tour locations around the city and the province of
Artemisa, in support of the Cuban Five, unjustly
imprisoned in the United States for their efforts to
prevent terrorism against Cuba.
Fernando González, vice president of
the Cuban Friendship Institute, a member of Five who
served his sentence in full and is now free, thanked
the group in the name of his brothers for the effort,
which conveys a message of commitment to the
struggle to free the three anti-terrorists who
remain in prison, Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino
and Antonio Guerrero, he said.
He described the 200 kilometer ride
as indicative of the solidarity the Five have
received, and a welcome contribution to the
international campaign to free the Cuban prisoners.
González added that when the Five are together again,
they will take a ride along with the young activists,
since "We know we can count on you in any effort." (AIN)
