Havana, Nov 12 (Prensa Latina) Parliament President Ricardo Alarcon convoked a new solidarity campaign with the five Cuban antiterrorist fighters unlawfully jailed in the US, to spread the case and forward their release.

Alarcon bewailed that after eight years of prison and struggle, the issue remains out of the big media and is fully unknown for the US people.

The call was launched for Dec 12-27, on occasion of the fifth anniversary of the trial for Fernando Gonzalez, Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Antonio Guerrero and Rene Gonzalez in Miami.

In such process, the Five were doomed to prison sentences that include double life imprisonments and 15 years in jail.

Closing the second International Free the Five Colloquium in eastern Holguin province, the Cuban official said that they are called spies instead of antiterrorist fighters when they are seldom mentioned by the media.

"They were defending their homeland and the US society from actions by anti-Cuban terrorist groups", he stressed, pointing out that for our people the Five´s freedom means fighting for our existence.
