Testimonies for truth and justice
Titles on the Five at the Book Fair
Madeleine Sautié
Rodríguez
THE titles Les debo verlos libres and
Estados Unidos vs Cinco Héroes, by Celia Hart
Santamaría and Rodolfo Dávalos Fernández,
respectively, launched yesterday at the 19th Havana
Book Fair, have to be seen as testimonies to justice
and truth.
Ricardo Alarcón, president of the National Assembly
of People's Power, commented on the two books before
a public that filled La Cabaña’s Nicolás Guillén
Hall, and was also attended by Culture Minister Abel
Prieto and family members of the five Cuban
anti-terrorists incarcerated in U.S. jails.
The first book comprises articles and an exchange of
correspondence between the Five and Celia Hart, with
a prologue by Mirta Rodríguez, the mother of Antonio
Guerrero. The compilation, published by the Center
for Martí Studies, presupposes, from its title, a
debt with the cruelly confined Cuban compatriots.
Estados Unidos vs Cinco Héroes,
from
the Capitán San Luis publishing house, is
based on a series of articles from Juventud
Rebelde daily, whose content the author has
brought up to date. As Alarcón stated, it
constitutes an instrument of combat.
“One day there will be millions of books condemning
this case. The fact that these men are not together
with their loved ones today is because of their love
of this people,” he affirmed.
