Atlanta Circuit
Court approves hearing
on the Five
 THE
Atlanta Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed to a
hearing of the case of the five Cuban political
prisoners in the United States, scheduled for Miami
City on March 10,2004.
It was likewise announced on the TV
Roundtable program "Five heroes in the belly of the
beast," that the names of the three participating
judges will be made public on February 24.
In this hearing, the defense will
have 15 minutes to lay our their arguments
supporting the 24 grounds for appeal, while the
District Attorney’s Office will present a report on
the totally politicized nature of the five anti-terrorist
fighters’ trial.
The Roundtable program showed a
meeting in which Leonard Weinglass, defense attorney
for Antonio Guerrero, informed U.S. academics of the
trial procedures, in which their repudiation of the
arbitrary actions committed was apparent.
Also screened was Olga Salaneuva’s
exposé of the reiterated refusal of a visa to visit
her husband René González in prison in the United
States, which is also preventing their little
daughter Ivette from getting to know her father.
Testimonies from U.S. friends who
recently visited the five Cubans in their different
jails were read out and it was announced that a
group of high-profile U.S. figures have signed a
petition for the release of the Five.
