16 Years Is Too Long! | ¡16 Años Es Demasiado Tiempo!



Publicado el 16/9/2014
La Jornada “5 Días por los 5 Cubanos” realizada del 4 al 10 de junio fue muy exitosa. Pero aún los tres antiterroristas cubanos permanecen en prisión. Ante tanta injusticia es necesario continuar haciendo presión en el epicentro del poder. Al cumplirse otro año del injusto encarcelamiento de Antonio Guerrero, Ramón Labañino y Gerardo Hernández, regresamos a Washington para continuar demandando a la administración de Obama una solución humanitaria al caso de los Cinco.

En todas partes del mundo se realizarán acciones de solidaridad para denunciar los 16 años de injusto arresto.

It is important that after the success of the Third “5 Days for the Cuban 5″
we keep the pressure up on the Obama Administration by being a presence in Washington DC on the anniversary of the unjust imprisonment of Antonio Guerrero, Ramón Labañino and Gerardo Hernández.

postcardFrom September 12 to October 8, supporters of the Cuban 5 will be organizing activities in cities all over the world and in the United States to bring attention to their 16 years of cruel imprisonment.
