~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Case: 10 Years of Injustice
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Between 1994 and 1995, Cuba sent five unarmed men, Gerardo Hernández, Antonio Guerrero, Ramón Labañino, Fernando González and René González on a mission to infiltrate and expose Miami-based terrorist groups such as Alpha 66, Omega 7, Brothers to the Rescue and the Cuban American National Foundation. These groups and others are responsible for hundreds of terrorist attacks which, according to Radio Habana, have taken the lives of more than 3,400 people in Cuba since 1959. An important example of these attacks was the bombing of the Lincoln Center in 1978 after a Cuban ballet performance. Another, and one of the most horrendous attacks, was the bombing of a Cuban airliner in 1976, which took the lives of 73 people. The 5 Cuban Heroes were gathering evidence to expose the terrorists responsible for these crimes against Cuba and humanity. Cuba released all the information that the 5 collected to the FBI. However, on September 12th 1998, the FBI
 arrested the Cuban 5 and threw them in solitary confinement for 17 months. The 5 Cuban Heroes have been unjustly held in US prisons for over 10 years. 

Please join us on February 12th in front of the U.S. Consulate in Vancouver & Montreal to demand:
