Panama Jurists for Release of Cuban Five
PANAMA - The
Panamanian jurists'' backing of the
universal call for the release of The Five
anti-terrorist Cuban fighters held in US
prisons was strengthened in an academic
forum to discuss their case.
Legal experts, students, diplomats and
representatives of organizations of
solidarity with Cuba backed the final
declaration of the gathering, where several
aspects of the procedure followed against
The Five.
Participants stressed that it is in the
hands of US President Barack Obama to order
to withdraw the charges pressed against
Cuban patriots Fernando Gonzalez, Ramon
Labanino, Gerardo Hernandez, Antonio
Guerrero and Rene Gonzalez, who have
unjustly served 11 years in US maximum
security prisons.
They also demanded the end of the
"paradoxical impunity" enjoyed by
self-confessed terrorists wanted by justice
like Luis Posada Carriles and his
accomplices.
The forum was sponsored by the University
Research and Development Foundation, the
University of Panama, the International
Studies Association, the National Career
Diplomat College and the American
Association of Jurists. |
