HOUSTON—Tom Kleven (above), a professor at the Thurgood Marshall Law School at Texas Southern University, addressed a January 26 meeting here to win support for the campaign to free five Cuban revolutionaries imprisoned in the United States. The five were gathering information on ultrarightist groups that have organized violent attacks against Cuba from U.S. soil with Washington’s complicity. The men were framed up by the FBI and convicted in 2001 on charges including “conspiracy to commit espionage,” and in one case, “conspiracy to commit murder.” The Houston event featured a showing of the video Mission against Terror and an update on the case from Gloria La Riva of the National Committee to Free the Five.
