Who are the Cuban 5?

Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, Antonio Guerrero Rodríguez, Fernando González Llort, Ramón Labañino Salazar, and Rene González Sehewert.

The Cuban 5 came to south Florida from Cuba to infiltrate, observe and report on the U.S.-based and supported paramilitaries who had bombed Cuban hotels and restaurants, causing injury and even death to innocent people.

On Sept. 12, 1998, the Cuban 5 were arrested, denied a change of trial venue just 30 miles outside of the inflamed sentiment in Miami, convicted on a sketchy catchall charge of conspiracy and sentenced to harsh prison terms — yes, prison terms for opposing terrorism.

While two have served their complete, unjust sentences and have returned to their Cuban families, three remain in prison: Gerardo Hernández Nordelo (two life terms plus 15 years); Ramón Labañino Salazar (30 years) and Antonio Guerrero Rodríguez (21 years plus 10 months).
