Today was filed June 14 in Miami Federal Court of Appeal collateral (also known as habeas corpus beyond) on behalf of the Hero of the Republic of Cuba Gerardo Hernandez. This is the last legal recourse for him within the United States.
Gerardo Hernandez was arrested in September 1998 and sentenced in December 2001 to two life sentences plus 15 years. For almost 12 years Gary has been in prison de máxima seguridad, sometido a un régimen especialmente severo y se le ha prohibido recibir la visita de su esposa, Adriana Pérez. Al gobierno de Estados Unidos le consta que él es absolutamente inocente.
Un aspecto importante en esta apelación es la presentación de nuevas evidencias. Recientemente el Comité Nacional Libertad para los Cinco de Estados Unidos, el Gremio Nacional de Abogados de ese país y la organización por los derechos civiles Partnership for Civil Justice realizaron una documentada denuncia sobre los pagos hechos por el Gobierno de Estados Unidos a periodistas que durante el juicio estuvieron sistemáticamente calumniando a nuestros compañeros, promoviendo el odio contra ellos y provocando y amenazando judges and juries. They did pay of the Government was discovered in 2006, five years after the trial ended.
also include violations by the government through manipulation of evidence, forgery, and in many cases their concealment to obstruct justice.
technical aspects in the performance of the defense will also be analyzed.
Regardless of the final results can be achieved within the legal order, this process will allow us to demonstrate more strength in the legal order the innocence of our colleague, once again explain the procedural violations, the Government's prevarication over the entire the process and how its realization in Miami was a denial of justice.
The collateral appeal is just the name of Gerardo, because his case was closed to the Supreme Court denied review on June 14, 2009 and therefore it is only this extraordinary procedure. His four colleagues still have other opportunities and resources that will be used by defense lawyers.
keep fighting because they do justice to them all. We will continue demanding the release of Gerardo, Ramón, Antonio, Fernando and René.
Each day spent in prison is an affront to justice. Gerard himself has said. Justice will only come when rendered by a jury of millions. It takes many actions to overcome the silence, the American people know the truth and demand their government to release unconditionally and Five immediately.
It's time to multiply the complaint and solidarity. Demonstrate to Washington that we Yes we can. For honest people that this is not an empty slogan but a demand that will follow you forever.
