He added that it is an expression of the feelings of justice and friendship that millions of Russians have towards Cuba.
Perez Roque also urged everyone to continue fighting for the release of Rene Gonzalez, Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Fernando Gonzalez and Antonio Guerrero – internationally known as the Cuban Five – who were arrested in 1998 for infiltrating anti-Cuba extremist organizations in South Florida that were planning and carrying out terrorist actions against the Caribbean nation.
