Ciego de Ávila, Cuba, Mar 5 (Prensa Latina) Women in this city staged a march today to support the five anti-terrorist Cuban fighters unfairly held in US prisons since 1998.
As part of the International Campaign Five for the Cuban Five, housewives, workers, students and fighters demonstrated to demand the return home of Gerardo Hernandez, Rene Gonzalez, Ramon Labanino, Fernando Gonzalez and Antonio Guerrero.
The Cuban Five, as these heroes are known worldwide, were detained and given harsh prison sentences for monitoring Miami-based violent groups acting against Cuba.
Four of them still remain in US jails while Rene Gonzalez left prison in 2011 after serving his sentence and was given an additional three-year supervised release punishment.

They have lived there under threat of extreme violence from the "exile" filth throughout. The list of crimes against decent Cubans in South Florida is astounding!
Thank you, D.D. This is a GIANT step forward. I'm surprised we were able to hear about it at all before someone got car bombed, or fire bombed over their action.
