Tribute to Che
Guevara in Nicaragua
The Che Guevara
Committee convoked the
Nicaraguan population
Monday to take part in a
tribute to the legendary
guerrilla leader Che
Guevara in commemoration
of the 40th anniversary
of his death in Bolivia.
The political and
cultural event will be
held on Sunday at the
Center for the Promotion
of Rural and Social
Research (CIPRES), which
has the only Central
American monument to the
memory of Ernesto Che
Guevara.
"We are going to
recognize his example
and legacy for the new
generations," said
Francisco Lopez, from
the Che Guevara
Committee, an
organization founded in
Nicaragua ten years ago.
The organizers will
present a Che photo
exhibit, and some local
artists have announced
their presence at the
event.
The event will also
demand the release from
US prisons of Gerardo
Hernandez, Ramon
Labaņino, Rene Gonzalez,
Antonio Guerrero and
Fernando Gonzalez, known
as the Cuban Five,
Nicaraguan historian
Aldo Diaz Lacayo said. |
