The Cuban Five
congratulate
women of the world
THE five Cuban anti-terrorist
fighters unjustly incarcerated in U.S. prisons since
1998 congratulated the women of Cuba and the world,
on the occasion of International Women’s Day,
according to Prensa Latina.
Antonio Guerrero, in the name of his
compañeros Fernando González, Ramón Labañino,
Gerardo Hernández and René González, expressed
gratitude for the encouragement, love and support
that women continuously offer them.
"Above all, we hold you in our
hearts every day and, with you, we carry on, we are
strong and always optimistic," Guerrero wrote in a
heartfelt letter.
"We acknowldege that it is women who
make up the largest participation in the battle for
our freedom. It is you who wake up every day
thinking of new and creative ways to push our
struggle forward. You write us the most from every
corner of the planet. It is you who provide us with
unwavering friendship," the anti-terrorist fighter
emphasized.
Guerrero went on to write that women
demonstrate, with great clarity, that another world
is possible and cited José Martí, who said, " When women
are moved and help… when cultured and virtuous women
bestow the sweetness of their love upon an endeavor
…that endeavor is invincible."
Fernando González, Ramón Labañino,
Antonio Guerrero, Gerardo Hernández and René
González are serving severe sentences for unveiling
plans for acts of violence against Cuba launched by
terrorist groups based in U.S. territory.
