Brazilian
authorities express solidarity with the five Cuban
heroes
 RECIFE,
BRAZIL (PL)— While touring various municipalities of
the Brazilian state of Pernambuco, a Cuban
delegation was greeted by expressions of solidarity
with the five Cubans illegally held in the United
States.
Cuba’s representatives were received in the
Municipal Legislative Assembly of Recife, the state
capital, as well as by its governor, Mendonça Filho,
and the mayor of Ingaraçú municipality, Severino de
Saouza Silva.
In an official legislative session, Josenildo
Sinezio and Joao Arraes, president of the assembly
and the municipality, respectively, called for the
release of the five Cuban heroes.
Sinezio said that Washington has no right to
impose a blockade on Cuba that impedes access to
scientific and economic resources and much less any
justification for incarcerating five individuals for
preventing acts of terrorism against their country.
In addition, Arraes read out a commemorative
plaque prepared for the occasion, which he presented
to Cuban Ambassador Pedro Núñez Mosquera.
As part of the event the film The Story of
Five Men was shown and Mirta Rodríguez Pérez
expressed her appreciation of the display of
solidarity with Cuba and with her son Antonio
Guerrero Rodríguez.
Similar scenes were repeated in the meetings
between the Cuban delegation and Governor Mendonça
Filho, of the Liberal Front Party, and Ingaraçú
Mayor Severino de Souza Silva, of the Brazilian
Socialist Party.
These activities were a prelude to this Saturday’s
inauguration of the Brazil-Cuba Solidarity
Convention sponsored by organizations in favor of
Bolivarian integration.
