The Cuban 5 are Cuban men who are in a US prison, serving four life sentences and 75 years collectively, after being wrongly convicted in a U.S. federal court in Miami, on June 8, 2001.

Their families and supporters are asking the people of the world to send a message to US President Obama this Saturday to grant the 5 justice.

The 5 were falsely accused by the U.S. government of committing espionage and conspiracy against the United States, and other related charges.

But the 5 pointed out in their defense that they were involved in monitoring the actions of Miami-based terrorist groups, in order to prevent terrorist attacks on their homeland.

The 5’s actions were never directed at the U.S. government. They never harmed anyone nor ever possessed nor used any weapons while in the United States.

The Cuban Five’s mission was to stop terrorism
For more than 40 years, anti-Cuba terrorist organizations based in Miami have engaged in countless terrorist activities against Cuba, and against anyone who advocates a normalisation of relations between the U.S. and Cuba. More than 3,000 Cubans have died as a result of these terrorists’ attacks.
