The recent visit to Cuba by former US President Jimmy Carter, renews our hope. His positive statements calling for the freedom of the Cuban 5 and the right of family visits during an interview with Cuban television constitutes an encouraging sign for our struggle. (Links to Carter, interview, press conference and an article are below)
In addition, his statements have appeared in media around the world, for many of these news outlets this marks the first time they have mentioned the Cuban 5.
But we cannot sit still while the 5 continue to be imprisoned and think it is over.
We need to take the visit of Carter as an opportunity to increase the struggle for the freedom of the Cuba 5 to all corners of the planet.
