On October 6th, 1976, 73 innocent people were killed when a bomb planted upon Air Cubana Flight #455 exploded in mid air. This terrorist attack was organized by former CIA agent and anti-Cuban terrorist Luis Posada Carriles. To this day, Carriles walks freely in Miami while the Cuban 5 anti-terrorists heroes remain in U.S. prisons- now for over 12 years. Please join us in a protest action at the U.S. Consulate demanding: 

FREE THE 5 CUBAN HEROES NOW!
EXTRADITE TERRORIST LUIS POSADA CARRILES TO VENEZUELA NOW!

September 2010 marked the 12th year of the unjust imprisonment of these 5 Cuban Heroes.  On September 12th, 1998, the 5 Cuban Heroes, Gerardo Hernández, Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labañino, Fernando González & René González, were kidnapped from their homes in the U.S. and placed in prison. 

Over 3,400 people have been brutally murdered by terrorist groups based in Miami. These 5 Cuban Heroes harmed no one and are in prison for giving information they had collected to the U.S. government about these groups, hoping that the U.S. would intervene and jail the terrorists. However, instead of thanking the anti-terrorist Cuban 5, the U.S. Government put them in prison and in some cases even denying them the right of family visitations, while the terrorist responsible for murdering 73 innocent passengers on a Cuban airline in 1976 walks free in Miami.
