VANCOUVER, British Columbia—Chanting “Free, free, free the Cuban 5,” more than 35 people picketed the U.S. consulate January 30 demanding that Washington release five Cuban revolutionaries imprisoned in the United States for the past eight years. Antonio Guerrero, Ramón Labañino, Gerardo Hernández, René González, and Fernando González were framed up by the FBI on charges ranging from “conspiracy to commit espionage” to “conspiracy to commit murder.” The picket was organized by the Free the Cuban Five Committee Vancouver.
