Florida, USA.- Antonio Guerrero, one of the five Cubans unfairly imprisoned in the United States,was transferred on Thursday from the Florens detention center to the federal prison in Marianna, Florida.

In a message posted on the website Cubadebate, the Cuban anti-terror fighter said that in these days of isolation and long air and road trips, the solidarity and sympathy form supporters around the world always gave him company and comfort.

Meanwhile, an organization of solidarity with Cuba in France condemned the unjust imprisonment of Antonio, Fernando Gonzalez, Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labanino and Rene Gonzalez, who was released under probation, and not permitted to leave Florida soil.

In a ceremony held in the town of Valenton, the mayor François Baud,and the French Communist Party secretary, Alain Girard, urged all participants to write U.S. president, Barack Obama, demanding the immediate release of the Cuban Five.

Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labanino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez and Rene Gonzales, known internationally as the "Cuban Five" were jailed in September 1998 for reporting on violent schemes by far-right anti-Cuban groups based in Miami. They were then convicted in 2001 by a Florida court on alleged espionage charges. The Five were given excessively long sentences, put in separate jails in different parts of the country with periods of solitary confinement, and routinely denied visits by their family members, who are residing in Cuba.
