> STATES!
>
> For more than nine years now, five Cubans have remained imprisoned in
> the United States. On their shoulders rest lengthy convictions, resulting
> from a politicized trial held in the city of Miami. The Five were helping
> monitor the terrorist plans orchestrated against Cuba from Florida by far
> right-wing Cuban groups.
>
> The Working Group on Arbitrary Detentions, attached to the UN's former
> Commission on Human Rights, declared their detention to be arbitrary, and
> a three-judge panel, tasked with examining the case at the Atlanta Appeals
> Court, unanimously agreed to nullify the trial and instructed that the
> sentences delivered in Miami be repealed. Afterwards, in a split vote, the
> Court dismissed that decision; and the case is still going through the appeal
> process.
>
> The Five have remained in isolation in maximum security prisons, under
> ruthless conditions of reclusion, in violation of their human rights and of the
> very laws of the United States. Two of them have been deprived of the
> right to be visited by their wives.
>
> We join our voices to all those in the world that call for the immediate end
> to this enormous injustice. We must not give up on this endeavor until truth
> prevails and these men return to their homeland and to their families.
