In 1998 five Cubans where arrested in Miami by the FBI while trying to gather information on right-wing paramilitary groups responsible for terrorist attacks against the Cuban people. The Five were eventually convicted in 2001 by a court in Miami, where the Cuban exile community wields enormous political power, on a range of charges including being foreign agents and conspiracy to commit murder.

But as well as the injustices surrounding this very political case, the five have been subjected to further inhuman treatment which has been condemned by human rights organisations around the world. They each spent their first 17 months in solitary confinement and have had their family visiting rights routinely restricted.

Unite is leading a campaign by UK trade unions to ensure that family members are allowed to visit their loved ones and to bring justice to the five.

  • @bapyou What country are you from? We might just bomb your stupid asses next.

  • Usefel idiots

  • To Poor Richard:

    You are babbling meaningless slogans that can't cover the fact that you have no factual basis for your views. Communism has been placed on the trashheap of history, including in those countries like China that still profess to be "socialist." It's not too late to educate yourself about the content of "real socialism" in Cuba -- socialism that severely limits internet access, makes every neighbor a spy, and whose DGI throws dissenters into prison as "CIA agents."

  • @capecodful So Tony Woodley is a cyber operative from the Castro-Dynasty is he? Do you have any brain cells?

  • @hackerpxThe Americans are the pigs here. Imperialist America are the worlds Bully and the Cubans are standing up to the Bully. Long Live Cuba, Long Live Socialism, death to Capitalism !

  • @habbadou MORON!!!!

  • @Jarvy159 This has got lots to do with a trade union that stands up for workers rights. Cuba is a beacon to the world that there is an alternative way to order society that is not based on capitalist greed and inequality.

  • Warning. This is a state propaganda video released by cyber-operatives from the Castro-Dynasty.

  • Just what has this got to do with a trade union?????

  • Yes. That's the mantra of every dumb ass American. Most Americans are brainless thoughtless dumbass morons.
