Terrorist acts against Cuba have taken more than three thousand lives and caused injuries and disabilities to more than two thousand innocent people.  Well-known criminals, perpetrators of attacks, assassinations and sabotage, live free in Florida today.

Five young Cubans, who in defense of their country were closely watching the most aggressive terrorist organizations operating in U.S. territory with absolute impunity, were arrested in Miami in 1998 and condemned in that city to very long sentences after a sham legal process under the pressure and hostility of media paid with federal money.

René González, the first of the Cuban Five to complete his unjust sentence, must remain after his release from prison for three years of "supervised release" in the United States instead of returning to his country and his family.

We, the undersigned, demand that the U.S. Government immediately return René González to his country and release Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero and Fernando González.
