Join in a leafletting, vigil, and speak-out-- Stop U.S. government inteference in Cuba! Free he Cuban Five! Wednesday, March 10, beginning 4:45 p.m. sharp at the northwest corner of Clark and Randolph (State of Illinois Building, Thompson Center)
Why March 10? This is the day the attorneys for the five Cubans are appealing their unjust jailing. The attorneys are calling for a new trial, outside of the venue of Miami and the big influence of the anti-Cuba terrorists there.
Here is a summary of the case-- The Cuban Five never harmed anyone. They only relayed informjation to Cuba about attacks on Cuba being planned by Brothers to the Rescue and other anti-Cuba groups in Miami backed by the U.S. government. These are groups who have caused death and injury to thousands in Cuba, including the 1976 bombing of a civilian aircraft in which 73 were killed.
If the U.S. government is so against terrorism, why is it not helping Cuba to defend against terrorist attacks? Why, instead, has the U.S. government jailed five Cuban citizens who were collecting information about ex-Cubans organizing terrorist attacks on Cuba?
This action is initiated by the Chicago Cuba Coalition, P.O. Box 469, Chicago IL 60690. Phone-- 312. 663.0527. It is endorsed by the Chicago Free the Five Committee and the International Action Center.
