Venezuelans to Step up Struggle for The Five
General Coordinator of the Venezuela-Cuba Solidarity Movement, Carolina Contreras, said on Sunday that this year the group will intensify the struggle for the release of the five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters held in US prisons.

We will work to support the media struggle and highlight values including the bravery, solidarity, gallantry and patriotism of these men who remain in prison for defending their country from terrorist acts, said Contreras.

She added that "from jail, these five Cubans fill those apparently free with energy," so we will state their case in dailies, radio stations and TV channels, as well as in main street posters.

She said they will also denounce the case of international criminal Luis Posada Carriles, who was release by the US despite being the perpetrator of the blowing up of a Cuban plane, killing all 73 people on board, and of other horrific crimes.

We will work the case of The Five trough that of Posada's because in this way people can better understand the reasons these brave men had to infiltrate Miami-based terrorist groups, she explained.

She added that it is easier for Venezuelans to understand this situation of the attacks against Cuba when we speak about this criminal "because we were also affected by his actions, and the blowing up of the plane was planned in this country."

If men like The Five (Gerardo Hernandez, Fernando Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labanino and Rene Gonzalez) had existed in 1976, the criminals had been unable to blow up the Cuban plane," she noted.
