Cuban Five Conference in Holguin
by Froilan Parra Suarez Mirtha Rodriguez, mother of Antonio Guerrero, spoke with the participants from around the world that came to Holguin to support the battle against the injustice committed against the Cuban Five, imprisoned for more than a decade in the United States for gathering information on groups plotting terrorist acts against Cuba. On behalf of her imprisoned son, Rodriguez transmitted a greeting and special thanks to the organizers of the seminar. "This isn’t the time to cry or for cowardliness, it’s a time for struggle," said Antonio. Vivian Rodriguez Gordin, president of the Holguin Province legislature, presented four of the foreign guests with the Province’s Coat of Arms: James Cockroft —an anti-US gringo as he calls himself—, Dimitris Dimis of Greece, and the couple Hector Brito and Denise Caron, residents in Canada, for their dedication and show of support for Cuba, the Revolution and especially as active champions of the Cuban Five cause. More than 100 people from 35 countries of Europe, the Americas and Africa are participating at the Colloquium that began with the inauguration of a photo exhibition, sponsored by the Cuban Friendship Institute, followed by an interactive Internet Forum with input from lawyers, journalists and Cuban five relatives.

por roilan Parra Suarez HOLGUÍN.— La amenaza que representa para Cuba el huracán Paloma no impidió la solidaridad con la causa de los Cinco cubanos encarcelados injustamente, desde hace diez años, en prisiones de Estados Unidos, durante la celebración, en esta ciudad, del IV Coloquio Internacional Por la Liberación de los Cinco Héroes y la Lucha Contra el Terrorismo. Durante la cita, Mirtha Rodríguez, madre de Antonio Guerrero, conversó con los amigos del mundo que vinieron hasta aquí para apoyar la batalla contra la injusticia cometida con los Cinco luchadores antiterroristas. Mirtha transmitió el saludo y agradecimiento especial a los organizadores y participantes del IV Coloquio Internacional, enviado por su hijo. El momento no es para llorar, sino luchar. No se puede ser cobarde, enfatizó. Durante la cita, Vivian Rodríguez Gordín, presidenta de la Asamblea Provincial del Poder Popular en el territorio, hizo entrega del Escudo de la Provincia al estadounidense James Cockroft —un gringo anti gringo, como él mismo se califica—, el griego Dimitris Dimis y el matrimonio integrado por Héctor Brito y Denise Caron, residentes en Canadá; en justo agradecimiento por tantos años de dedicación y manifestaciones de apoyo a nuestro país y la Revolución y en especial por ser activos defensores de los Cinco. El Coloquio, con más de un centenar de participantes de 35 países de Europa, América y África, comenzó este viernes con la inauguración de una muestra fotográfica, auspiciada por el Instituto Cubano de Amistad con los Pueblos, y seguido de un Foro Interactivo, con la intervención de abogados, periodistas y familiares.
