Russian Nobel
laureate
for freedom for the Five
•
THE winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize for Physics,
Zhores Alferov, affirmed on Wednesday, May 3 that
the battle to free the five Cubans imprisoned in the
United States for combating terrorism is a difficult
one, but will triumph because it is just. During a
get-together with students at the University of Havana, the
Russian scientist spoke out in favor of the release of
Antonio Guerrero, Fernando González, René González, Ramón
Labañino y Gerardo Hernández.
Alarcón: “The Court has
no
alternative but to
annul ‘Charge 3’ against Gerardo”
•
THE Court of
Appeals in Atlanta has no alternative but to annul Charge No. 3 in the case of
Gerardo Hernández, because the prosecution itself admitted before that same
court that the available evidence was insufficient to convict him, affirmed
Ricardo Alarcón, president of the Cuban Parliament.
