FROM THE CUBAN FIVE: MESSAGE TO CARAVANISTAS
[The following message from the Cuban Five--political prisoners jailed in the United States for monitoring terrorist activities by right-wing Cubans in Miami--was sent to the 14th U.S./Cuba Friendshipment Caravan. This solidarity effort, organized by Pastors for Peace, challenges the illegal U.S.-led economic strangulation of Cuba.]
July 2003
Dear brothers and sisters:
All of you, who are collecting aid for the Cuban people at this moment in spite of the illegal and immoral U.S. blockade against Cuba, are beautiful examples of love, friendship and courage that dignify the human being.
We admire you so much. You are showing that a different world is possible. You represent the real American people and show how the relations between our two nations will be, some day in the near future.
We just hope to have the privilege of meeting all of you soon and to join you in future caravans and in dreams of a better world for everybody.
Congratulations and many thanks from the bottom of our hearts on behalf of the Cuban Five.
Long live the friendship of the American and Cuban people!
Ramón Labañino
U.S. Federal Penitentiary, Beaumont, Texas
