Fabio, forever in our thoughts
August
4.- an event to remember, pay tribute and reaffirm
revolutionary resolve, took place in the lobby of
Hotel Copacabana, on the 17th anniversary of the
death of young Italian Fabio Di Celmo, marking the
start of the International Event for the Freedom of
The Cuban Five and against terrorism.
 During
the ceremony, in which a floral wreath was placed by
the plaque in remembrance of the young Italian, a
moment of silence was held by workers and invited
guests.
Solidarity and support was offered by all those
affected by the tragic and unjust event to Giustino
Di Celmo, father of the young Italian, who attended
the commemoration, together with Decorated Hero of
the Republic of Cuba, Fernando González.
Since
that moment, 17 years ago, the Di Celmo family has
become part of Cuba’s history. They “add to the
3,477 victims of acts of terrorism,” stated Haymel
Espinosa, President of the Cuban Committee of the
Families of Victims of Terrorism.
 “This
war unleashed by the United States against the Cuban
Revolution as a state policy, has been evidenced
throughout history and is fully demonstrable
through the multiple, political; military; economic;
biological; and diplomatic actions, among many
others, which have been carried out against our
country,” emphasized Espinosa.
She also
stated that the Cuban people will never cease in
denouncing terrorism, and crimes such as those
perpetrated in the hotels Tritón, Chateau Miramar
and Copacabana in 1997; and much less, abandon the
cause of the three anti-terrorists still
incarcerated in U.S. prisons.
 “Today
with us, are René and Fernando, heroes who like our
people, continue to work on the difficult task of
brining them
[Ramón,
Gerardo and Antonio]
back.” Espinosa
highlighted the important role of solidarity
organizations in continuing the struggle for the
freedom of the Cuban Five.
In
addition to the commemoration ceremony, other
actions took place all over the country under the
banner of Fair Play. Other activities are scheduled
to take place in 5,844 sports grounds around the
country on the anniversary of the unjust
imprisonment of our three brothers Ramón, Gerardo
and Antonio 16 years ago, on September 12.
Also in
attendance at the ceremony were Kenia Serrano,
president of ICAP; Mirtha Rodríguez, mother of
Antonio Guerrero, and Graciela Ramírez, coordinator
of the International Committee for the Freedom of
the Cuban Five, among other personalities.
