Vol. 72/No. 7      February 18, 2008

But in reading this article I noticed that there is an incorrect statement of fact that you may want to know for future articles. Although Olga has not visited her husband René in prison, Ivette González has been able to visit him on two occasions already and has been accompanied to the prison by her older sister Irma González. The visit has not been highly publicized but it is incorrect to say that she has not visited her father in prison.

In solidarity,

Ireland: solidarity with Cuba
Between October 9 and 14 a number of events to commemorate the death of Che Guevara were organized in Ireland. The largest event of this type took place in Dublin, with a noon time vigil at the General Post Office and a evening “Celebration of the Internationalist Hero.”

In Derry, Northern Ireland, the Republican youth organized a protest in Guildhall Square in solidarity with the Cuban Five and several hundred signatures were collected demanding the release of the five political prisoners.
