Cuban Miami Five: SSP Motion to Scottish Parliament

["Eddie Truman" <eddie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

S2M-83 Colin Fox: Cuban Miami Five?That the Parliament expresses
concern at the trial and detention in the United States of America of
Cuban nationals Antonio Guerrero Rodriguez, Fernando Gonzalez Llort,
Gerardo Hernandez Nordelo, Ramon Labanino Salazar and Rene Gonzalez
Sehwerert, known as the Miami Five; considers that the nature of the
charges, the location of the trial in Miami, Florida, in an
atmosphere of media and public intimidation and the length of the
sentences subsequently handed down call into question the safety of
the judicial process; notes that the immediate families of the
detainees have been unable to visit them as they have been denied
entry to the USA, and believes that the US Government should support
the petition for a retrial and ensure that it is held in a
jurisdiction that guarantees a fair trial.
