Haitians Launch Internet Blog About Cuban Five

HAVANA, Cuba, May 10 (acn)

An internet blog about the five Cuban antiterrorist fighters imprisoned in the US was recently inaugurated by several Haitian organizations in solidarity with Cuba at www.haitiporloscinco.blogspot.com.

The blog (in Spanish) is named "Haiti por la liberación de los Cinco Héroes” (Haiti for the Liberation of the Five Heroes) and it is supported by members of social organizations, cultural personalities and intellectuals, political figures and clubs of solidarity with Cuba, says a press release posted at the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ website www.cubaminrex.cu.

The blog comprises news articles about actions held in the neighboring country for the release of the Cuban Five. Such actions include radio debates, meetings in solidarity with the Cuban Five, statements by several organizations and personalities in favor of the freedom of the Cuban Five, etc.

The purpose of the blog is to break the silence of the mainstream media about the issue and find new voices that can join the battle for the freedom of Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez and Rene Gonzalez, says Minrex's report.

The Cuban Five have been imprisoned in the US since 1998 for having penetrated Florida-based anti-Cuba groups to prevent attacks and sabotages against their homeland.
