| 按：近日，美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿说美国没有一个政治犯，于是我们请她释放美国的古巴政治犯。 |
敬请传给您的朋友，感谢：
1959 年古巴革命以来，以佛罗里达州为基地而对古巴本土展开的恐怖与破坏活动，至今造成古巴3478人死亡，另伤及 2099人，并因此直接造成经济与社会损失 540亿美元，美国的经济封锁则另造成古巴经济损失 862亿美元。
策划或执行这些破坏活动的人当中，以 Luis Posada Carriles最知名（恶名昭彰），许多佛罗里达古巴人视之为英雄。他在 1976年 10月 6日爆破古巴航班，机上 76人罹难。他也自豪地宣称，为阻止古巴旅游事业的发展，他规划 1997年哈瓦讷饭店爆炸案，致使意大利游客一死，另有游客11人受伤， 2000年则策划在巴拿马暗杀卡斯特罗。他在 2005年非法进入美国，司法部以他是「承认自己娴熟于恐怖活动及攻击」，呼吁法院拘禁，但2007年4月19日，也就是「台湾古巴后援会」开始筹备之日，他获得假释，并在2007年5月8日获不起诉处分。
在此背景之下，五位古巴人进入佛罗里达州从事查访与监视佛罗里达反古巴群体的活动，并将情报送回古巴，预警恐怖份子的相关活动。1988年，古巴政府要求美国政府协助取缔佛罗里达州恐怖社团的活动，并在 1998年 6月送达相关档案至 FBI。
但美国政府并不是就此档案所显示的证据，采取行动，而是在 1988 年9 月 12 日藉此逮捕这五位古巴的爱国勇士：Gerardo Hernández Nordelo,Antonio Guerrero Rodriguez, Ramón Labañino Salazar, Fernando González Llort and René González Sehwerert 。
他们在受审判前被美国政府监禁 17个月，不理会外界要求移转审判地点（众所周知，佛罗里达是反古巴大本营），拒绝律师援用「必要防卫」权。由于美国违反自己的法律，也违反国际法而逮捕五人，古巴及国籍声援团体群起谴责，呼吁美国政府公平对待五人。
2005 年8 月 9 日， Atlanta 上诉法庭三位承审法官无异议驳回佛州判决，表示「要在佛罗里达给予（不偏私的）审判，很可能并不合理，因为该小区普遍存在偏见」。但事隔刚好一年，也就是2006 年8 月9 日 Atlanta 上诉法庭推翻三位法官的见解，否认迈阿密对古巴政府存在普遍暴力与威吓环境。该上诉法庭批准刑期，拒绝另行审判，发回案件要求三位法官更审。
联合国独断拘禁工作小组 (United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention)曾在 2005年5月 27日宣布美国对 Cuban Five的拘禁与审判违法。国际特赦组织（ Amnesty International）表达关切，认为美国政府理当「严肃考虑该指控是否公正」。全球已经有 9百多位国会议员以正式提案或信件，要求美国政府释放五人。但美国政府至今视若无睹，并拒绝五人家属定期探访，除纳入控制，他们对外的电话与通讯也相当有限。
值此不公正持续，而美国政府信誓旦旦于反恐之际，全世界的人若知道 2007年 5 月 8日，头号恐怖份子 Luis Posada Carriles 获不起诉处分，自由逍遥于美国，但爱国且反恐的 Cuban Five仍身陷囹圄，必不肯静默，太息于美国政府双重标准一至于此。
是以，我们在此继续呼序，敬请继续声援古巴五位爱国勇士，祈使他们早日重获自由与公正对待。请您加入请愿与声援之列，请至下列网址，感谢：

Petition:
We, the undersigned, strongly demand that U.S. President George W. Bush immediately free Antonio Guerrero Rodríguez, Fernando González Llort, Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, Ramón Labañino Salazar and René González Sehwerert from US prisons as they are illegally and arbitrarily held.
五人当中的René González今年十月出狱，但必须在美国境内接受监管三年。古巴及海外社团继续要求美国让Rene回国。其余四人仍未获释。
以下为经济学人的报道和调查：

Convicted Cuban spy Rene Gonzalez freed from US prison
The campaign to secure the men's release has continued for years
Convicted Cuban agent Rene Gonzalez has been freed as scheduled from a Florida jail, after serving 13 years of a 15-year sentence.
Gonzalez is part of a group known as the Cuban Five, who were given long terms in 2001 in the US after being convicted of spying.
Gonzalez must now spend three years on supervised probation in the US.
Havana has demanded that he be allowed to return to the island, where the five men are considered national heroes.
Rene Gonzalez, who received the shortest sentence, is the first of the Cuban Five to be released from custody.
He had asked to be allowed to return to his family in Cuba but last month a US judge turned down the request, upholding the order that he remain in the country for a further three years.
Prosecutors opposed his return to Cuba, saying he might resume spying by taking advantage of his dual US-Cuban citizenship.
A return to Cuba would "effectively put him beyond any supervision by the court," Assistant US Attorney Caroline said in court papers, describing him as " a particular, long-term threat to this country".
Gonzalez's wife told the Associated Press she feared his life would be in danger from the Cuban exile community in the US.
His lawyer, Philip Horowitz, said they would appeal again against the requirement to stay in the US.
Spies
Gonzalez was arrested in 1998 along with Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labanino, Antonio Guerrero and Fernando Gonzalez.
The men were found guilty in 2001 of trying to infiltrate US military installations in South Florida.
Hernandez was also convicted of conspiracy to commit murder over the shooting-down in 1996 of two planes flown by a Cuban exile group, Brothers to the Rescue.
The five, who received terms ranging from 15 years to life, have over the years made several appeals against their convictions and sentences.
The Cuban government has always said the men were not in Miami to spy on the US but to prevent anti-Castro exile groups from launching what it called "terrorist attacks" on Cuba.
The case of the Cuban Five has cast a long shadow over US-Cuba relations.
The Cuban government regularly stages demonstrations to call for the men's release.
At the same time, the US has repeatedly demanded the release of Alan Gross, who is serving a 15-year jail sentence for taking illegal satellite equipment into Cuba.
