Ricardo Alrcon, President of the People’s Power of the National Assembly

President of the People’s Power of the National Assembly stated that if the American people know the truth about the Cuban Five, the people would force the president Barack Obama to release them. The injustices against Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez, Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino  and René González will continue, while preventing the United States population to know the facts, warned  the also member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of Cuba.

If mastered, it would require Obama to do what he has to do: drop the charges and release them, said during his speech in the final session of the V International Conference on Justice and Law, which was held at Havana’s Convention Center. However, "the so-called media imposes silence, it had to do with the information and are in fact instruments of ideological control in the service of empire," he said in the presence of the Five’s relatives and professionals from 14 countries attending the event on justice and right.

Alarcón recalled that the only thing that our comrades made was trying to find out and prevent criminal actions against Cuba and its people, manipulated from the U.S. with scandalous impunity for years. So, no one can ignore the law and we need to defense our nation.

Likewise, he also related the case of the Five antiterrorists with the known criminal’s who stay in the United States, among them Luis Posada Carriles, a fugitive from Venezuelan justice and author of sabotage in 1976 Cubana  de Aviacion airliner that killed 76 people.

Alarcón described as clumsy and cynical the media campaign of the U.S. and the European Union against Cuba, and reiterated the solidarity of the Cuban Parliament with the student strike in Puerto Rico, where repression caused the death of 21 year-old Natalia Sanchez Lopez buried on Friday.

Judges, prosecutors, public defenders, lawyers, academics and other professionals involved in the event, which is an initiative of the Supreme People's Court from the first one made in October 2002.

First Vice President of the Councils of State and Ministers, Jose Ramon Machado Ventura was at the opening session, which was attended by experts from Africa, Europe and Latin America.
