Campaign to free Cubans
The NUT is supporting a Cuba Solidarity campaign to free the Miami Five – Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando González and René González – Cubans falsely jailed by the US Government for committing espionage. September 2012 marked their 14th year in prison.
Please write to ask your MP to sign EDM 497 which calls on the US Government to allow two of the Miami Five’s wives – Adriana Perez and Olga Salanueva – to be allowed to visit their husbands.
