Havana, Dec 12 (Prensa Latina) The U.S. government asked Florida''s South District Court to reject collateral appeals from Ramon Labañino and Fernando Gonzalez, two of the five Cuban antiterrorist fighters unjustly held in that northern country since 1998.
The petition, made on December 6, states that the arguments made by both men lack legal merits to be considered by the court.
The government said the argument on the government's payment to Miami journalists before and during the trial against the Five to create an atmosphere of hostility against them and prejudice the jury presented in both appeals does not constitute a violation of due process.
The government´s motion responds to the appeals presented by defense attorneys of Ramon Labañino and Fernando Gonzalez on August 8 and September 12, 2011, respectively, states the note.
Labañino and Gonzalez, along with Antonio Guerrero, Rene Gonzalez and Gerardo Hernandez, are currently serving harsh sentences for informing on the plans of violent actions against Cuba conceived by terrorist groups based in U.S. territory.
Rene Gonzalez was released from prison on October 7 and a Miami judge decision has forced him to serve three years of "supervised release" in the United States after completing his sentence.
Such situation puts his life at risk and is an additional punishment for him and his relatives.
According to the judge, Rene Gonzalez should respect the special condition of not approaching places attended by well-known terrorists.
