These five Cuban antiterrorists were unjustly imprisoned in the U.S since 1998 and sentenced to harsh terms for trying to prevent terrorist actions against Cuba by Miami-based right wing groups such as the Cuban American National Foundation (CANF), and Alpha 66, among others.

Fernando, Gerardo, Antonio, and Ramon still remain in U.S. prisons for 13 years now; whereas Rene was imposed with an additional three-year “supervised release” that prevents him from returning to Cuba with his family.
