The support to the cause of the Five Cuban antiterrorists imprisoned in United States and the rejection to blockade was felt here in a rally organized by the Unions and Australian solidarity groups.
The event was held in Petersham town hall under the auspices of the Union of Construction,Forest, Mining and Energy and supported by the Friendship Associations with Cuba and the Committee for the Release of the Cuban Five, as the antiterrorist fighters are well-known worldwide.
The Trade Union secretary Andrew Ferguson talked about the importance of spreading the unjust prison suffer by Fernando González, René González, Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino and Antonio Guerrero, in confinement in US jails since 1998.
Ferguson affirmed that the campaign of the Cuban Five arrested when they were monitoring terrorist groups' activities from Florida against their country, must be extended until the Washington government free them.
He also launched a savage attack to the blockade imposed by successive administration of the White House for nearly 50 years and considered it of genocide.
Joanne Kuniansky from the Committee of the Cuban Five explained the antecedents of the case and the current situation of the process after the US Supreme Court rejected the revision despite of the many favourable opinions from personalities around the world.
Kuniansky denounced the terrorist aggression to Cuba and its needs to defend itself mainly while self-confessed terrorists like Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosh are walking around the United States streets.
He emphasized the overwhelming rejection at Un of a Cuban resolution demanding the end of the US siege approved by the General Assembly for the 8th occasion last October.
About 300 people took part in the activity that was also attended by Cuban Consuls in Sydney Nelida Hernandez and Ifrain Miranda.
