Freedom for the Cuban Five Demanded in Kenya

Nairobi, Jan 9, (RHC).- The Kenya-Cuba Friendship Society demanded the immediate and unconditional release of the five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters imprisoned in the US since 1998.

The communiqué published also demanded the end of the economic, commercial and financial blockade the US has maintained against Cuba for the last 48 years, which has been repeatedly condemned at United Nations since 1992.

The Kenyan solidarity organization urges the people and human rights institutions in that country to increase their traditional support to Cuba this year.

The communiqué advocates for respect of sovereignty and self-determination. It also encourages people to sign it in order to send it to US President Obama.
