Aconcagua: The Cuban Five on Americas Rooftop

http://www.principioesperanza.com/ On January 10th, three young Argentinean climbers from Neuquén province reached the summit of Aconcagua, the highest mountain on the American continent, with an elevation of 22,831 feet above sea level. This extraordinary feat, accomplished by Santiago Vega, a radio and television journalist, Aldo Bonavitta, a bank clerk, and Alcides Bonavitta, a social activist, had a political objective as clear as it was noble: expressing the solidarity of the Argentinean people with the cause of the five Cuban anti-terrorism fighters, held by the empire in its prisons for eleven years, under conditions that are not even applied to the worst serial criminals in that country. Moreover, they were condemned in an absolutely flawed trial that makes their incarceration an affront to due process and the rule of law. The Cuban intelligence agents Ramon Labanino, Gerardo Hernandez, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez and Rene Gonzalez were unjustly and illegally imprisoned for investigating terrorist activities in Miamis Cuban community and their case constitutes an emphatic denial of the so-called war on terrorism that Washington claims to be waging.

I don't speak Spanish but you don't have to in order to understand this video. The Cuban 5 case is a disgrace. They are not criminals but Cuban agents seeking to protect their country (not harm anyone elses) from the Terrorist groups the US harbours. Can you imagine the fuss if 5 Americans were imprisoned in Cuba? I don't hold out much hope, Obama isn't much different from Bush except he's mastered joined up writing. Viva Cuba!
