Havana, Sep 7 (Prensa
Latina) Cuba questioned Monday US media silence referring to the longest
political trial taking place in the penal history of that northern nation,
which also included issues like foreign policy and international terrorism.
In an article entitled "Forbidden
Heroes," Cuban Parliament President Ricardo
Alarcon
stated that the
US press has kept in secret this
controversial trial against five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters.
Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez, Rene
Gonzalez, Ramon
Labañino, and Gerardo Hernandez
were sentenced in a trial, whose irregularities and violations have been even
denounced by US legal institutions.
In the text, first of series of works on the
so-called Cuban Five,
Alarcon termed inconceivable
that the longest trial in the
United States have been only covered by
Miami media.
The Cuban head of parliament talked of Elian
Gonzalez' kidnapping, whose world media coverage generated internal
mobilization, which resulted in the return of the Cuban child to his father.
The publication of the article coincides
Monday with the execution of an act supporting this Cuban cause at the
Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth pedestal in
London.
