The U.S. Supreme Court announced Monday, without explanation, its decision not to review the case of the Cuban Five who are unjustly imprisoned in the U.S. for struggling against anti-Cuban terrorism that is sponsored by the U.S. rulers.

Since 1998 they have been wrongly imprisoned, tried and sentenced in the U.S. on fabricated charges ranging from espionage to conspiracy to commit murder, while the true criminals, such as those right-wing organizations they monitored, continued their activities unimpeded by the U.S. government.

The original trial has already been condemned by the U.N. Human Rights Commission, activists, legal scholars, and Nobel laureates, and world opinion is against their wrongful and continued imprisonment.

"In spite of the solid arguments made by the defense attorneys from the obvious and multiple legal violations committed during the whole trial, by ignoring the universal backing to the petition—expressed by an unprecedented number of 'friend of the Court' briefs, among them 10 Nobel prize recipients, hundreds of parliamentarians, and numerous U.S. and international jurist organizations, of outstanding political and academic personalities— the Supreme Court rejected the case, thus ignoring the demand of Humanity and its obligation to do justice," according to www.antiterroristas.cu.

Supporters of the Five will not be swayed by this decision, and we ask all who believe in justice to join use Tuesday, June 16, to demand justice and immediate freedom for the Five and their families.
