 "Ours may be one of the most ridiculous accusations of espionage in the history of this country" -Gerardo Hernandez Nordelo of The Cuban 5


September 12th, 2014 will mark the 16th year anniversary of the arrest of the Cuban 5; three current U.S. held 
Cuban political prisoners (two were released and live in Cuba)  and 
incarcerated for protecting Cuba from U.S. sponsored terrorist actions.

In 2006, President Ricardo Alarcon, of the Cuban Parliament, declared 
Sept. 12th through October 6th to be a period of time to raise awareness on the case of the Cuban 5. The Popular Education Project to Free the 
Cuban 5 is committed to building an international movement for the Cuban 5’s freedom by extending this period of time to be a full month (Sept. 
12th-October 12th) and calling it "Free the Cuban 5 Month!"

During this month we organize a calendar of events to raise awareness about 
the Cuban 5 and how people can work for their freedom! With the recent release 
of Rene Gonzalez and Fernando Gonzalez, we feel it is time to double our efforts to free Antonio Guerrero, Gerardo Hernandez, and Ramon Labañino!  


We ask that you support all these events and actions!  Our COLLECTIVE action can free these innocent men!  Together we will:

FREE THE CUBAN 5! BELOW IS THE CALENDAR OF EVENTS!
