WHO ARE THE 5 CUBAN HEROES?

Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando González
and René González, also known as the Cuban 5, are currently serving
outrageously long sentences including even a double-life sentence plus
fifteen years. They were wrongly accused and convicted in a U.S.
Federal Court of “conspiracy to commit espionage” and other fabricated
charges. The 5 were actually unarmed men involved in monitoring
Miami-based terrorist organizations, which since 1959 have been
responsible for the deaths of over 3,400 people in Cuba, including one
resident of Canada, Fabio di Celmo, in 1997. Through their important
work, these 5 men were able to prevent further deaths in Cuba.
