STOCKHOLM, Sweden—Thirty people participated in a picket line here September 12 to demand the freedom of Antonio Guerrero, Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino, Fernando González, and René González, five Cuban revolutionaries framed up and jailed in the United States. The action marked the 11th anniversary of their unjust imprisonment.

Known internationally as the Cuban Five, the men were convicted on charges ranging from acting as “unregistered foreign agents,” to conspiracy to commit espionage, and in one case, conspiracy to commit murder. Three of the five received life sentences. They had had been monitoring counterrevolutionary Cuban exile groups that had carried out armed attacks and bombings against Cuba with Washington’s complicity.

Similar actions were scheduled in at least 18 other countries.
