The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, 3-judge panel issued a ruling on June 4 upholding the convictions of the Cuban Five, including the espionage conspiracy and murder conspiracy charges. The life sentences for the espionage conspiracy charges against Antonio, Ramon, and Fernando have been remanded to the Miami trial judge for re-sentencing.

Join the National Committee to Free the Cuban Five, the ANSWER Coalition and allied organizations at the busy Sunset & Cahuenga intersection near the CNN building in Hollywood to protest this unjust ruling and the continued incarceration of the Cuban Five. As the National Committee to Free the Cuban Five has recommended in these past months, an immediate response is extremely important, in order to bring media attention to the injustice against the Cuban Five, and to show the broad national and international support for our brothers.

This protest is coordinated with actions across the United States.
