Gerardo Hernandez, Birthday behind Bars

Gerardo Hernandez, one of the five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters held in US prisons since 1998 turned 47 years old on Monday in a cell of the California-based Victorville federal prison. On the occasion of Hernadez’s birthday, his countryman, Antonio Guerrero—also serving an unfair sentence in Florida’s Mariana federal prison--says that there are no words to describe the nobility and integrity of Gerardo.
“In that cell there is a man; his strength makes his jailers tremble and frustrated…” Guerrero writes in his message.

17 members of the German Parliament ask the U.S. to release the Cuban 5
Dear Mr. Attorney General: We are aware that the direct appeals process is exhausted, but that lawyers acting for the men have filed a motion seeking habeas corpus relief and that a ruling on this motion is still pending.

At this state in the proceedings, we call on you to provide remedy and relief in order to effect the release of the five men and allow them to return home to Cuba. In particular, we respectfully request you no longer to oppose this course of action. We would also ask you to look benevolently at ways of granting a reprieve or pardon to the five men so that they may be released and allowed to return to Cuba. The President of the United States has the power to grant such a reprieve or pardon under the U.S. constitution (Article II, Section 2). This solution is proposed by Amnesty International in its very detailed and, in our view, apposite report of October 2010 (AI Index. AMR 51/093/2010), which has been sent to you.

We would like to bring you so many things on this day of your 80th spring; the kiss of Tony on your beautiful cheek, the tango that you'd like to dance with him, the embrace of your four other sons.  But we only have a bouquet of tenderness to give you and our hands, those that call for justice so that you do not have to shed more tears. We look to you every day and find the strength to keep fighting. Be beautiful today, as always for your prince, the day is coming.
