United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navenethem Pillay, met with Adriana Perez, wife of Gerardo Hernández, in Geneva on Monday.
.
At the meeting, Adriana referred to the damage to health and the suffering of the five anti-terrorist fighters and their families caused by their 14 years unjust imprisonment.
.
Gerardo Hernendez, Ramón Labañino, Fernando González, Antonio Guerrero, and René González were condemned to long sentences in a rigged and arbitrary trial for warning their country of terrorist acts planned by the Miami mafia.
.
In the case of Geraldo, who is serving two life sentences plus 15 years, the US government also prevents him from seeing his wife.
.
Adriana Perez told the UN High Commissioner of the need for that body to directly interfere in favour of the motion requested by the defense lawyer of Rene Gonzalez, so that he be allowed to travel to Cuba to visit his brother, who is seriously ill.
.
Rene Gonzalez was released on October 7, 2011, under supervision and he is banned from leaving US territory for 3 years.
.
Adriana Perez also expressed the wish for reunification on behalf of the elderly mothers of the five Cuban antiterrorist fighters.
