Dublin, 12 September 2011. – \u00a0Free the Miami Five Campaign Ireland launched a series of forthcoming events as part of the international actions to mark the 13th<\/sup> anniversary of the unjust imprisonment of the Miami Five.<\/p>\n

Speaking from Leinster House, independent T.D. Finian McGrath reiterated the call for the release of the five Cuban counter-terrorist fighters and highlighted the case of Ren\u00e9 Gonzalez. \u00a0Ren\u00e9 is the first to serve his full sentence and is due for release on 7 October 2011. \u00a0He is to fulfil an additional 3 years probation term in Miami, where his physical integrity will be at risk.<\/p>\n

Joined by fellow T.D.s Maureen O\u2019Sullivan (independent) and P\u00e1draig MacLochlainn (Sinn F\u00e9in) and representatives of various Trade Unions, Political Parties and solidarity organizations, affiliated to the campaign, he said:<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, the Irish Free the Miami Five Campaign is launching a programme of actions in the months of September and October to increase pressure for an end to this gross miscarriage of justice.<\/em><\/p>\n

We urge you to support the Miami 5 and join us in calling on President Obama to use his presidential powers to release these men and facilitate their safe return home to their people and their families\u201d.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
