from the Cuban Five From Fernando: Dear friends: I wish to convey to all of you my most sincere appreciation for another year of company in solidarity with this struggle for truth and justice. The year which will soon end is yet another year of significant efforts of all those, who in one way or another, contribute to the objective of making the freedom of the Cuban Five a reality. We are aware of the activities and events that all of you organize everywhere in the world as part of the campaign for our freedom. To each one of you, in each place on the planet where you show the universal value of human solidarity, with the closing of the year 2011, receive my gratitude and my certainty that we will achieve victory. May you have a happy and fruitful New Year, and that 2012 be another year of gains and victories for the causes that we defend. Happy 2012!
From Ramón: This year 2011 is reaching an end, and we want to use this opportunity to extend our gratitude and love to everyone. We are very honored to count on you, and in this moment your solidarity and support is extremely important, more than ever before. We are certain that with your help, we shall overcome! and embrace you in freedom and happiness, then all our dreams will become true!!! Best wishes for everybody!!! On behalf of "the Cuban five", our families and the Cuban people : "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2011!!!!!"
From Antonio: Dear friends, René is free, but it is a freedom with many conditions, it is a freedom where is in constant physical danger, it is a freedom without being able to have Olguita and his daughters next to him, it is a freedom without freedom. Gerardo continues under the terrible conditions of a penitentiary, something I know very well. His strength remains high against the injustice of the double life sentence and despite not being able to receive visits from Adriana. Perhaps soon we will hear about the Habeas Corpus this December. I am wondering what Judge Lenard's response will be? It gave great strength to us to hear about the participation of friends from all over the world who attended the VII Colloquium for our freedom in Holguin. Once again the success of this yearly event shows that the struggle for our cause is growing. These are some of the things that 2011 ends with, in the iddle of a world that cannot take it anymore and is dying of pain. It is a world that is asking us to run to help it in order to save humanity from so much selfishness, a world that is taking us, as Fidel affirmed, "in a relentless pace, toward a definite and total catastrophe." For me, the recent visit of my two sons has been the most wonderful thing that has happened to me in these 13 years of imprisonment. With great thanks for your support, on behalf of the 5, I wish you a Happy New Year 2012! Peace, health, and happiness. ¡Venceremos! Cinco abrazos. Antonio Guerrero From René: Dear Friends: With the end of another year, and the festivities and symbolism that these dates signify for each one of you — in your space of our diversity — the family spirit is renewed and our best wishes are conveyed for the near future; a reflection of our aspirations, dreams, realities and devotion. For the five of us who have been separated from our families and our people for more than 13 years, the recurrent wish that this injustice finally be rectified, is once again our main hope. All of you, our constant companions throughout this arduous struggle for something as simple as seeing the law applied, have demonstrated the sensitivity that allows you to feel personally the wounds caused by the denial of that most basic dream of ours and our loved ones. You have made a place in your hearts for this prolonged battle that would have caused many to give up. For that perseverance we thank you and we reiterate to you the certainty of our eternal gratitude. It is for that mutual connection that your happiness is ours as well, we share in your projects, we enjoy your successes, and together we project the optimism and perseverance that makes us one. With that spirit of fraternity and shared feelings, we wish you the best possible New Year's celebration. May you have success in all your endeavors, which are ours as well. A happy and prosperous 2012.
