I am writing to ask you to show humanity and respect for justice
and to free Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando
González and René González who have been unjustly imprisoned in United States
jails for more than twelve years since 12 September 1998.
On
13 October this year, Amnesty International asked the US government to review
the case of the Five and to mitigate any injustice against them. You have the
constitutional power to do this today.
Please
act now and show compassion. Please undo the injustice that has been carried
our against these men who your own security experts admit were no threat to the
United States, but were solely in your country to gather information on violent
groups planning terrorist attacks against the Cuban people.
