WELLINGTON, New Zealand — More than 40 people packed into the Deluxe Café Jan. 10 for the opening here of the exhibition of political cartoons by Gerardo Hernández, one of the Cuban Five. The exhibition, titled “Humor from My Pen,” has been touring this country for more than two years, helping to build support for the campaign to free the Five. “The new year marks the 55th anniversary of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution,” said Cuban Ambassador Maria del Carmen Herrera, at right in left photo, who welcomed participants. The last 55 years of revolution have seen achievements that have benefited the Cuban people, and relentless efforts by Washington to overturn them, Herrera said. She encouraged support for the International Commission of Inquiry into the Case of the Cuban Five, to be held in London March 7-8. |
