national / crime and justice / event notice Friday April 08, 2005 11:41 by Simon McGuinness
Mission Against Terror tells the story of five men dispatched by the Cuban government to 'observe, monitor and report on the workings of the (Anti-Cuban) terrorist network in the United States' - a network responsible for the deaths of almost 3,500 Cubans in a covert terrorist war against Cuba. Having compiled evidence of terrorist plots by Miami-Cubans, which was sent to the FBI, the men found themselves arrested rather than the terrorists they tracked. The men were placed in solitary confinement for 17 months and subsequently tried in Miami. They were sentenced to four life sentences and 75 years collectively. The Free the Miami Five Campaign was established in Ireland to highlight the injustices of the case brought against the men, the human rights abuses that have occurred during their detention and to call for their release.

We are delighted that the two film makers will be in Ireland to present their film and answer questions from the audience in each venue.

As the the Bush administration escalates it's war on the poor ,nonviolent resistance grows amongst the U.S. civilian population and within the U.S. military. Any serious movement that challenges power will have it's prisoners. Prison is designed to isolate, demoralise and crush the resister.

A smple way to counter such isolation is sending a letter or postcard to peace prisoners in military brigs, county jails and federal pens.

From personal experience I can assure you that getting such correspondence from Ireland when your living in a cage or cell lifts morale, makes it safer with the guards and is big hit fellow prisoners (especially stamp collecters!).

If you're going to write a letter against the war - makeit to a peace prisoner rather than a politician! read full story / add a comment
