Who are the Cuban 5?

After decades of terror against the Cuban people instigated by terrorist groups harbored by the United States and its agencies like the CIA, the Cuban government decided it had to act.

Between 1994 and 1995, Cuba sent five unarmed men, Gerardo Hernandez, Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labanino, Rene Gonzalez and Fernando Gonzalez on a mission to infiltrate and expose Miami-based terrorist groups such as Alpha 66, Omega 7, Brothers to the Rescue and Cuba America National Foundation, the financial backbone of all anti-Cuban terrorist groups.

These groups are responsible for hundreds of terrorist attacks, which have taken the lives of thousands of Cubans.

The Cuban Five send a message to the people of Haiti

Dear Haitian people:
In this tragic and sad moment that you are experiencing, five Cubans imprisoned in the United States wish to express our solidarity. On television we have seen the devastation after the earthquake of the 13th. Our condolences come to you for the relatives of the victims of this catastrophe, joined to a message of breath and hope.

We are sure that the determination of the Haitian people, along with international help, will make the recovery of your country possible. In this work you will always have the help and solidarity of the Cuban people.

A strong and fraternal embrace.

Ramón Labañino
Rene González
Gerardo Hernández
