Oakland: Mission Against Terror

MISSION AGAINST TERROR

Five Cuban men are in U.S. prisons, serving four life sentences and 75 years collectively, after being wrongly convicted in a U.S. federal court in Miami on June 8, 2001. The Five were falsely accused of committing espionage conspiracy against the U.S. But actions of the Five were never directed against the U.S. government. They never harmed anyone, never possessed, and never used any weapons while in the U.S. The mission of the Cuban Five was to stop terrorism against Cuba. For more than forty years, terrorist organizations based in Miami have engaged in countless terrorist activities against Cuba, and against anyone who advocates a normalization of relations between the U.S. and Cuba. More than 3,700 Cubans have died as a result of these attacks. Terrorist Miami groups like “Comandos F4” and “Brothers to the Rescue” operate with complete impunity from within the United States -- with the knowledge and support of the FBI and CIA. So Cuba made the necessary decision to send five Cubans to Miami to monitor terrorists against Cuba. The aim of this clandestine operation was to prevent criminal acts, and protect the lives of Cubans and other people.
