Cuban Five Commission film, 'Justice in London'

“Today I was not supposed to be sad”. These words of Irma Gonzalez stunned the crowd of 2000 people into silence at the concert organised as part of the International Commission of Inquiry into the case of the Cuban Five in London.

Irma, daughter of Rene Gonzalez, the first of the Cuban Five to be released, is just one of over 20 witnesses featured in this magnificent film ‘Justice in London’ which covers the wide range of events held in London during those memorable days in March 2014.

The film features special guests to the Commission including Olga Salanueva, wife of Rene, US novelist Alice Walker, former US Attorney General Ramsey Clarke and Ricardo Alarcon, former President of the Cuban National Assembly.

It features the testimony of victims of the terrorist attacks that have been carried out against Cuba since 1959, and legal scrutiny of the United States government’s manipulation of the case, including their pay-offs to journalists so as to prejudice the jury pool and “inadequate facilities” for the Five’s defence.

Rene Gonzalez, denied a visa by the British government to attend in person, speaks to the Commission via Skype.

This official film report directed by renowned Cuban director Roberto Chile for ICAP (the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples) and narrated by Irma Gonzalez is now available on www.voicesforthefive.com

The panel of prominent judges invited from India, South Africa and France finish off their verdicts by the end of the Inquiry by urging the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, to “pardon immediately all these Five persons and release, immediately and unconditionally, the three persons that continue to languish in prison in the United States”.
