Alarcón calls on
the revolutionary press to unite efforts
 •
RICARDO Alarcón de Quesada, member of the
Political Bureau and president of the National
Assembly of People's Power, has called on the
revolutionary press to unite around cases like that
of the Cuban Five, unjustly incarcerated in the
United States.
 "Uniting
efforts against the current media wall of silence
concerning issues that are not convenient to major
interests is an obligation of the revolutionary
press, he affirmed, summing up a panel on fighting
for media truth in the case of the five Cuban anti-terrorists.
Organized by the Cuban Journalists
Union (UPEC) at the José Martí Institute of
Journalism, the panel included Gloria de la Riva of
the U.S. National Committee to Free the Cuban Five
and Alicia Jrapko, coordinator of the International
Committee to Free the Cuban Five.
De la Riva recounted her experiences
on working on the San Francisco Chronicle,
where she unsuccessfully attempted to publish an
article on the legal situation of Gerardo Hernández,
René González, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero and
René González, internationally known as the Cuban
Five.
Alicia Jrapko spoke of the
difficulties confronted by solidarity with Cuba
organizations when approaching the issue of the
island’s anti-terrorists, due to the prevailing
ignorance about them and the truth around their
case.
Tubal Paéz, UPEC president, recalled
that the manner of lying currently wielded by the
U.S. press about the Five is the same that it has
utilized against the 50 years of the Cuban
Revolution. (AIN)
