The solid arguments have been trampled on once again

• Statement by the OSPAAAL Executive Secretariat


The Organization for Solidarity with the Peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin America (OSPAAAL) condemns the refusal of the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case of the five Cuban heroes unjustly incarcerated in U.S. territory for almost 11 years.

The solid arguments presented by the defense team regarding the innocence of the anti-terrorist Cubans, despite the host of arbitrary legal actions committed throughout the whole trial, have once again been trampled on. The universal demand for justice that has been forcefully and overwhelmingly expressed – in a manner that is unprecedented in the history of the United States – in "Friends of the Court" documents presented by ten Nobel laureates, parliamentarians, prestigious U.S. and international jurists’ organizations, and prominent political and academic figures, have been contemptuously ignored.

As René González stated in a message sent shortly after learning of the Court’s failure: For the peoples of the world, the audacity of this process is the reiteration of an old lesson: we are facing an empire that will never make amends for any crime. It will only calculate how it can get away with what it wants. No ethical considerations or universal clamor can detain it, only the price imposed on it by resistance.

Once again, the U.S. judicial system has turned its back on the case of the Five, which clearly constitutes an example of injustice so great as to be outrageous. The prolonged and arbitrary incarceration of Ramón, René, Gerardo, Antonio and Fernando is shameful: grotesque evidence of the policy of double standards applied by a country that harbors and protects self-confessed international terrorists, while all the time condemning those who confront it in order to protect innocent lives; a political revenge against the Cuban people.

The International Executive Secretariat of the Organization of Solidarity with the Peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America (OSPAAAL) calls on the U.S. government for the immediate release of the Five, and demands that President Barack Obama enforces the faculties with which he is invested to put an end to this macabre injustice.

Our tricontinental organization affirms its commitment to redoubling actions and initiatives until the Five are able to enjoy the right to freedom to which they have been robbed; and it makes an urgent call to all member organizations and friends, to the U.S. people, and to all intelligent and honest people around the world to close ranks for this noble cause, increase international mobilization, maintain this battle and courageously resist, as the Five are doing in the empire’s prisons, with sovereign and socialist Cuba.

JUSTICE AND FREEDOM FOR THE FIVE CUBAN HEROES!

FREEDOM FOR THE FIVE NOW!
