The members of the panel pointed at the fact that during this 28th of January, when the nation celebrates the birthday of our National Hero Jose Marti, the people of Cuba and its younger generation paid homage to Marti, inspiring on the firm and gallant attitude of Gerardo, Fernando, Ramon, Rene and Antonio. It was also highlighted how the X Convention of the Federation of Students of Intermediate Level schools ( junior and senior high schools, plus all kinds of technical and trade schools ) proclaimed the five heroes as honorary delegates to their meeting. It was also learned during the broadcast that the five Cuban patriots are in good health in the Miami Federal Detention Center, as well as that there is the possibility that they will be confined separately in different US prisons. Journalists and specialists members of the panel coincided in pointing out the biased character of the trial and the stiff sentences imposed to the five Cubans. They also explained that during the trial procedures it was evident how the judge yielded to the dirty games of the public prosecutor's office and the Cuban counterrevolution in Miami. Professor Julio Fernandez Bulte, a senior scholar at the University of Havana, described the trial as null and in violation of the Constitution of the United States of America. During the prime time broadcast, the members of the panel unveiled the connections between the Cuban American National Foundation, drug trafficking and terrorism , and they also revealed the contradictions of the US policy in its worldwide struggle against terrorism. Along this line they made reference to the incoherence of the crusade that Washington unleashed against terrorism, while at the same time it keeps in jail unjustly men that protect the peoples of Cuba and the United States against the terrorist actions forged in southern Florida. At the end of the Round Table , details of the growing international solidarity with the Five Heroes Prisoners of the Empire was highlighted, with the example of the campaigns now in progress to appeal for their liberation. -- _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
