MIAMI—Eighty people gathered here September 18 for a meeting in solidarity with the Cuban Five, organized by the Alianza Martiana, a coalition of Cuban-American organizations opposed to U.S. policy toward Cuba. The decision by Judge Joan Lenard that René González must remain in Florida following his release from prison October 7 means this is a “new moment of commitment” for all supporters of the fight, said Andrés Gómez, inset, president of the Antonio Maceo Brigade. Also speaking were Max Lesnik, president of the Alianza Martiana, and Elena Freyre of the Foundation for Normalization of US/Cuba Relations. September 12 through October 6 has been set by supporters of the Cuban Five as a period of concentrated activity worldwide to call attention to the case.
