THE violations of family and children’s rights in the case of the five Cubans unjustly imprisoned in U.S. jails were denounced during the 2nd International Cuban Solidarity Conference, attended by representatives from 55 countries and 150-plus organizations who observed the country’s May Day festivities.

Wives who cannot visit their husbands, mothers who cannot visit their sons, fathers who cannot see or meet their children: these are the situations created by the U.S. authorities.

Ricardo Alarcón, president of the Cuban Parliament, reported that once again, the U.S. authorities have denied visas to the wives of René González and Gerardo Hernández.

René’s youngest daughter, Ivette, who does not know her father, has also been denied entry to the United States.

A nine-minute video called Five Injustices was shown during the conference. It includes testimony by relatives of Gerardo, Ramón, Fernando, René and Antonio, who left family happiness behind in order to infiltrate terrorist groups based in Miami and defend their people from actions by that mafia.
