We celebrate the release of the Cuban 5

political prisoners held by the U.S. government for 16 years. Their freedom also marks a positive change in relations between the U.S. government and Cuba. 

The Cuban Five are heroes who came to the U.S. 
to stop terrorist attacks against their country. 
By secretly joining the most reactionary groups in Florida, 
the Cuban Five put their lives at risk in order to stop attacks on Cuba and its socialist system. Freedom for the Cuban Five and the plans to normalize relations with Cuba announced by President Obama are to be applauded. 
Thank you again President Obama here

Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree


Performed by Cubans Silvio Rodriguez, Amaury Perez, Frank Fernandez, Kiki Corona, Gretell Barreiro, and Luna Manzanares, now claiming for yellow ribbons for the Cuban Five, on the 15th anniversary of their incarceration this September 12th.
Who are the Cuban Five? Fifteen years ago on Sept. 12 they were arrested for infiltrating and monitoring the violent Cuban exile groups in Miami. They deserve medals for their heroic acts -- not long prison terms.
