 TODAY, August 9, after more
than one year of weighing the evidence, the 11th
Circuit Court of a Appeals vacated the trial
court's ruling against the Cuban Five and ordered
a new trial with a change of venue. This is a
sensational victory for the Five, the Cuban
people, and the international people's movement
that supports them! The Five will now receive a
new trial in a place other than Miami. This blow
to the U.S. government undeniably was made
possible by the hard work and growing support of
progressive, justice-loving people in the U.S. and
all over the world.
The National Committee to Free
the Cuban Five is holding a telephone press
conference today with the Five's attorney, Leonard
Weinglass, the coordinator of the National
Committee to Free the Cuban Five, Gloria La Riva,
A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition Coordinator, Brian Becker,
and other activists and legal experts to discuss
this landmark victory. We will send more
information as soon as we have it. In the
meantime, call 323-464-1636 with questions.
A.N.S.W.E.R. has been a leading supporter of the
Cuban Five since the beginning of the case.
The Five are one big step
closer to freedom. Let's continue the struggle and
ensure total victory. Free the Cuban Five! U.S.
Hands Off Cuba!
Volverán! They will return!
