TWO Central European countries denounced the U.S. legal system’s
                   unjust conviction of the five Cuban heroes currently incarcerated in
                   that nation’s prisons.

                   Members of the Association of Slovakian Friendship with Cuba, in
                   Bratislava, presented a letter to the U.S. embassy in that city
                   expressing their indignation regarding the results of the fixed trial in
                   Miami against the patriots Fernando González, René González,
                   Antonio Guerrero, Gerardo Hernández and Ramón Labañino.

                   The letter highlights that the Five were sentenced for defending the
                   interests of their country and that no evidence of any activity against
                   the United States was presented at the trial.

                   The Slovakian association of solidarity with the people of Cuba also
                   condemned the continuous support and financing of terrorist groups
                   trained in U.S. territory, and the constant media campaign against
                   the island.

                   Similarly, the committee of the Czech-Cuba Friendship Society of
                   Rumburk manifested its support for the work of the five heroes
                   unjustly convicted by a Miami court and considered their sentences
                   an expression of Washington’s hatred for Cuba.

                   Likewise, the friendship association in a city of the Czech Republic
                   totally rejected the United States’ economic blockade against the
                   island.
