Touching video of the meeting of René González with his daughters Ivette and Irmita following his exit from the prison of Marianna in Florida, on October 7, where he counted also with the presence of his father and brother.

“I am in one piece and ready to struggle until the day I die”, he said on the phone just minutes after he got of the unfair imprisoning.

Arrested in 1998 and sentenced to 15 years of jail for conspiracy, René returned to freedom last October 7 after the time of his sentence was finished - however a judge of Florida denied him the authorization to return to his family in Cuba.

He was now sentenced to stay three years under “supervised freedom” in the USA, which is an insult to Cuba that will only deteriorate more the relations between the two countries.

This decision adds more pain to this man’s family, as it means they will be three more years apart. During the 13 years of imprisoning in the USA, René’s wife - Olga Salanueva - was denied by the US Administration all requests to return to the USA, and now she will have to wait three years more until he returns to Cuba.

Furthermore, the staying of René in the USA puts in danger is own life, in case the US authorities insist in this “supervised freedom” in the country, given the aggressiveness of the anti-Cuban organizations located in Miami. How will the physical integrity of René Gonzalez be preserved in an environment that generates insecurity?

The World Federation of Democratic Youth wishes to send a message of solidarity and support to the Cuban People and Revolution on the occasion of this October 06, 35 years after the cruel attack against the Cuban plain of Cubana Aviación in which 73 people lost their lives as a result of the state terrorism sponsored by the USA against Cuba, since the triumph of the Revolution.

Until the day of today, more than 5000 Cuban people have been victims of terrorist actions, but that is not enough for the US administration and it keeps fighting this people that have refused to bend to its will. This fact is no underlined by the continuous injustices against the Cuban Fiver Heroes, fighters of terrorism, who are kept imprisoned in the jails of the empire at the same time as Luis Posada Carriles (the murder who planned the attack on the plane in 1976) and other terrorists who are members of criminal anti-Cuban organizations are free to live in the USA.

We, the progressive and anti-imperialist youth of the world, express our full support to the liberation of the Cuban Five and demand that particularly comrade René González Sehweret - who should be released on October 7, after having passed the last minute of his sentence - is not forced to be kept in USA to be forced to pass through a process of “supervised freedom” in the city of Miami, where it should respect the “special condition” of not going to places where it is known that public known terrorists go to regularly with total impunity. We join this world denounce that such condition not only jeopardizes the life of René, as it is an additional punishment to him and his family.

We call upon the human sensibility and call upon everyone to redouble the international solidarity and demand to the US administration to allow René to return to this homeland and his family without any sort of constraint.

We demand that President Barack Obama makes use of his constitutional powers to stop this new manoeuver of the American law system against René and that it is immediately put an end to the unfair imprisoning of the other Cuban Heroes.

WFDY, on behalf of its member and friendly organizations, expresses its total solidarity with the victims of the state terrorism in Cuba and all throughout the world, condemning the hypocrisy and double standards of the USA administration. We further call all our member and friendly organizations to take part in this battle.

End the injustice - freedom now!

The World Federation of Democratic Youth, on behalf of all its member and friendly organizations underlines today more than ever its full support to the struggle taken forward by the Cuban people for the liberation of its Cuban Five Heroes, who are imprisoned in the USA jails for the last 13 years due to their struggle against terrorism.

In our days, in a moment when the world is condemning the terrorist actions of September 11, it is the 13th anniversary of their unfair imprisoning. On this occasion we remind also the 35 years of terrorist attack against Cubana Aviación, the 14 years of the attack in a Cuban hotel that lead to the death of the Italian tourist Fabio Dic Celmo, actions coordinated by the terrorist Luis Posada Carriles that is today walking freely and with total impunity through the streets of Miami. We remind also the 38 years of the coup d’état in Chile that brought death and mourning to the Chilean people, as well as the assassination of Orlando Letelier, both actions conducted by the imperialist government of USA.

In Cuba there has been many terrorist actions done with the support of the imperialist government of USA, such as bombardment or shots against Cuban airports and coastal populations, germ warfare, the attempts to murder Fidel Castro, the frustrated attack to Playa Girón, the theft of the aircraft carrying the innocent young boys of the Cuban national team of fencing and the media aggressions through Radio and TV Marti. The result of all these aggressions throughout half century has been of three thousand deaths and two thousand more with injuries, which are a true proof that the Cuban people is the real victim of terrorism. Throughout the media it is clear the wave of attacks to make of Cuba the Libya of Latin America, but we are sure they won’t be able to do so!

WFDY supports and calls for all its member and friendly organizations to respond to the call done by the Communist Youth Union of Cuba (UJC) and take part in the campaign to demand, from today and until October 6, solidarity with the terrorism victims and to express our solidarity on the 5th day of each month to achieve the release of the Cuban Five!
