Message from Gerardo
We are going to resist until
justice is done
 AFTER
learning of the decision of the Appeals Court in
Atlanta to uphold his sentence of a double life term
plus 15 years, Gerardo Hernández spoke on the phone
with Alicia Jrapko, and this is the message that the
activist transmitted to us:
 Gerardo
has just called me, he already knew about the court’s
decision.
He said that it didn’t surprise him, that this is
the same justice system that has kept Mumia, Leonard
Peltier and Puerto Rican political prisoners
incarcerated for more than 20 years. "We’ll do all
the time we have to do, 30 years, 40, whatever, and
as long as a single one of you is outside resisting,
we are also going to resist, until justice is done."
He told me to tell everyone who asked about him
that he is fine, feeling strong and to keep up the
fight.

11th Circuit
Court upholds convictions
of the Five
June 5, 2008
A
Federal Appeals Court on Wednesday upheld the
convictions of the five Cuban anti-terrorists
incarcerated in the United States since 1998, while
vacating the sentences of three of them, who are to
be re-sentenced in Miami, the only place they never
should have been or should be tried.

I did it for the Five, too
"I just did what any Cuban can do very easily as a result of
having been born here; I have voted according to my
conscience, and even though it is a secret vote, I will say
openly that I voted for everyone," said Ricardo Alarcón de
Quesada, president of the National Assembly of People’s
Power, after casting his ballot in Polling Station No. 2 in
Voting District No. 76 in Havana’s La Rampa neighborhood.
