Hanoi, Sept 25, (RHC).— Journalists, diplomats and solidarity friends discussed on Friday in Hanoi the case of the five Cuban political prisoners incarcerated in the US for fighting terrorism during a round table that was held at the Vietnam-Cuba Friendship Association.

A documentary on the Cuban Five was shown before the discussion among the participants with information on the unjust sentencing of Gerardo, Rene, Fernando, Antonio and Ramon who had infiltrated extreme right wing Cuban American groups in Miami.

The Cuban Five were arrested in 1998 and sentenced three years later in Miami with prison terms that surpass four life sentences for attempting to stop terrorist actions against the Cuban people.

Opening the discussion was Nguyen Duy Cuong, Vice President of the Association calling on the solidarity with the five Cubans and demanded the immediate release of the five by the US government.
