THE
initiative Voices for the Five, supported by
important figures on a world scale, is undertaking
an intense schedule of activities to demand the
liberation of the Cuban anti-terrorists imprisoned
in the United States, including the convocation of
an International Investigation Commission to review
the case, which will be held in London, March 7-8,
2014.
Belgian activist Katrien Demuynck,
president of the Socialist Cuba Initiative
Association and coordinator of the Committee for the
Five in Europe, reported in Havana, October 31, that
the Commission will take place in London’s
emblematic Law Society and participants will include
family members of the Five, victims of terrorist
attacks in Cuba, outstanding experts, attorneys and
political figures.
According to Demuynck, who is also
part of the Voices for the Five campaign, the
Commission will publicize evidence about anti-Cuban
terrorist groups based in the United States and the
right of countries to defend themselves from this
type of aggression will also be discussed.
Voices for the Five is an
international coalition of activists, solidarity
groups, jurists, human rights organizations,
political figures and trade unionists fighting to
free the Five, which includes more than 300
distinguished individuals internationally, according
to the group’s website www.voicesforthefive.com.
John Le Carré, Noam Chomsky, Wayne
Smith, Günter Grass, Miguel Barnet, Ramsey Clark,
Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, Nancy Morejón and Emma
Thompson are among the sponsors of the campaign to
demand freedom for the Cuban Five.
