Havana, Cuba, Apr 5.- Gerardo Hernandez, Rene Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labañino and Fernando Gonzalez, the five Cuban antiterrorism fighters incarcerated in the United States, sent a message to the 9th Congress of the Young Communists League (UJC).

It’s an honor for us to have been elected delegates of honor to his important meeting; this multiplies our spirit and strengthens our decision of resisting and struggling until victory is achieved, affirm The Five in their letter, read on Sunday morning at the beginning of the second and last day of sessions of the Congress.

Together with young communists and the entire people, along with the Party, Fidel and Raul, we’ll continue the struggle for truth and justice, for our release from prison and for our return to our homeland, add René, Gerardo, Antonio, Fernando and Ramon, besides reiterating their innocence and their absolute confidence in the triumph of the their cause.

On March 13, in a ceremony held on top of the Turquino Peak, the five patriots were proclaimed Delegates of Honor to the 9th Congress of the Young Communists League, along with Cuban Revolution leader Fidel Castro and President Raul Castro.
