Cubans and friends from around the world will celebrate a Symposium of International Solidarity to begin today until July 24, confirmed organizers of the event.
The president of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP), Kenia Serrano, pointed out that the meeting is especially dedicated to the 56th anniversary of the assault of the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Cespedes barracks.
In July 25, 1953 Fidel Castro led a group of young men to begin the fight against the Fulgencio Batista dictatorship that concluded with the triumph of the Revolution on January 1959.
About 300 United States citizens confirmed their attendance. They are grouped in the 40th Vencermos Brigade Contingent and 20th Pastors for Peace, US-Cuba Friendship Caravan.
The Friendship House in the capital will be the scenario of an exhibition with the medal "World Hero of Solidarity' awarded to Fidel Castro and designed by the United Nations General Assembly president, Miguel d Escoto.
Homage will also be paid to internationalists who have fallen in combat by planting tress as a symbol of solidarity bonds and a documentary De pueblo a pueblo, by Consuelo Elba will be shown and dedicated to these caravans, as well as demanding liberation of the Cuban Five jailed in the United States for 11 years, Serrano pointed out.
Rene Gonzalez, Ramon Labanino, Gerardo Hernandez, Fernando Gonzalez y Antonio Guerrero were arrested in September 12, 1998, when they were monitoring criminal actions planned by anti Cuban groups based in Florida.
We will also demand the return of Manuel Zelaya to his constitutional presidency in Honduras, she concluded.
