[icffmaj] Support the Cuban 5 Visa Campaign




Support the Cuban 5 Visa Campaign:
The Power of the People will win this victory!


Due to the U.S. government’s denial to approve visas, Gerardo Hernandez Nordelo and Rene Gonzalez Sehwerert have not seen their wives since their incarceration!! Others in the Cuban 5 have not seen their parents, wives and children with regularity. The U.S. government has taken prolonged periods of time to issue them visas.

The U.S. government’s denial of visitation rights is a cruel and horrible form of psychological torture. Their rationale for denial is ridiculous and baseless; none of these family members are a threat to national security.

We are asking people to fax or mail out this letter to Ms. Navanetham Pillay, The NEW High Commissioner of Human Rights of the Office for Human Rights-United Nations Office at Geneva. We are asking her to intercede on behalf of the Cuban 5’s mothers/wives to pressure the U.S. government to grant them VISAs to visit their husbands/sons!!

Danny Glover Denounces the Silence of the Corporate Media on the Cuban 5

Forward to a Friend


We are happy to present a new YouTube calling for the freedom of the Cuban 5 by Danny Glover, the beloved US actor and activist, who has visited Gerardo Hernandez several times in the US penitentiary in Victorville California, where he is serving his unjust sentence.

In a recent article, written by Danny and Saul Landau after their latest visit to Gerardo, they described the last moments as they were leaving the visiting room of the prison. "2:30 PM - Departure time, the most excruciating part of visiting Gerardo Hernandez. A prison guard announced: "Visiting hours are over." Gerardo lined up against the wall with the other inmates. We stood with wives, children and mothers. Finally, the electronically controlled, heavy metal door opened. Gerardo held up a triumphant fist. We did the same. He stayed in Hell (13 years now). We left."

Danny Glover's Press Conference
on the Cuban 5

In this latest YouTube Danny uses a touch of irony to expose the media silence around the case and encourages independent media to pick up on the injustice of the imprisonment of the Cuban 5. We cannot rely on the corporate media to cover the case because when they do it is filled with the biased anti Cuba hatred that we have grown accustomed to.

We ask you to post the video on your webpage, facebook, twitter and to send it to any alternative media you can think of. And also please forward it to all your friends so it can reach out to thousands of people who have been denied the truth about the Cuban 5.
