Vigil for the Five at the Flag Memorial

Deisy Francis Mexidor

• A patriotic and revolutionary vigil is taking place tonight on the eve of September 12, the date when the five Cuban antiterrorist fighters complete their eleventh year of incarceration in the United States.

Vigil for the Five at the Flag MemorialThe Flag Memorial has been selected as the venue because precisely at midnight, a group of famous artists will begin a collective art project in that emblematic place, expressing the unanimous demand of the Cuban people and thousands of friends in the world for an end to that colossal injustice.

A patriotic and revolutionary vigil, which will be broadcast live on Cuban television, begins at 8:30 am on Saturday, with other activities of a deep patriotic content on the same capital esplanade. The Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples is organizing a solidarity vigil, while an interactive forum and the award ceremony of the International Competition of Drawings Defending the Peace are scheduled at the University of Computer Science.

The demand of "Freedom for the Five now" will extend throughout the country and will move beyond coastal borders. A large number of activities have been planned in work, study, community, and neighborhood centers, while reports are coming in of actions in Venezuela, Bolivia, Sweden, the Ukraine, Equatorial Guinea, the United States, Belgium, Peru, Italy, Lebanon, Argentina, and Spain.

Gerardo Hernández, Antonio Guerrero, Ramón Labañino, Fernando González and René González were arrested in Miami in the early hours of September 12, 1998.

Young people protest against new injustice in the Five’s case
THE recent refusal by the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case of our five heroes, scorning the demand for "Freedom!" that is latent in every part of the world, and the adjournment of the trial of the criminal Luis Posada Carriles, has once again demonstrated that justice in the empire of the North is neither blind, nor does it wear spectacles.
