The collection of paintings "Desde mi Altura" (From My Height) by Antonio Guerrero, one of the five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters unfairly imprisoned in the United States, is being exhibited as of Saturday at the Ancient Prison of Venice''s Gallery in California.
Guerrero's works, conceived in total isolation, consist of scenes drawn from memory, as lyric reflections of his nostalgia for Cuba, highlights a release from the International Committee to Free the Cuban Five, promoter of the initiative.
This exhibition is also accompanied by a reading of his poems, which will be recited by actor Edward Asner. Actor Danny Glober will read a message and a documentary to update the public about the case will be screened.
Glover said that this case shows the dangerous and problematic double-standard in the USA in its struggle against terrorism, and called on President Barack Obama correct this injustice.
The Committee is carrying out a weekend of solidarity with the Cuban Five and the Right to Family Visits, in which activist Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers of America, will also participate, the release informs.
Guerrero, along with Rene Gonzalez, Ramon Labañino, Gerardo Hernandez and Fernando Gonzalez, were detained on September 12, 1998, and later subdued to a politicized trial with unfair and disproportionate sanctions.
A UN panel has concluded their incarceration is arbitrary and unfair.
