Bahamian Friends of the Cuban Five issue letter to George W. Bush

George W. Bush Jr.
President of the U.S.A.
The White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NWWashington, DC 20500



Dear Mr. President;


Re: Bahamian Friends of the Cuban Five


It is quite obvious to the world at large that the Five Cuban nationals, who were falsely convicted and sentenced to ridiculous sentences in a hostile environment (Miami Florida), are innocent victims of a wicked political crusade against their beloved homeland, Cuba.

The circumstances surrounding the arrest, trial and conviction of these 5 Cuban national heroes, not only suggests motive, but points unmistakable to it. And now it is blatantly clear that Government prosecutors intend to use the slow and tedious route of the judicial system to prolong the process of the appeal hearing, while these five victims of a cruel prejudicial process languish in prison in isolation from their families, friends and even their lawyers.

Our organization “The Bahamian Friends of the Cuba Five” believes that when criminals are convicted for crimes committed, justice should be tempered with mercy. We believe that even those who have committed heinous crimes should not be denied due process according to the laws of natural justice.


In cases like those of the Cuban Five we believe that, given the circumstances and the hostile environment in which they were tried, the Attorney General’s office of the U.S. or the U.S. Justice Department should move with alacrity to correct this serious miscarriage of justice against these five victims of a vicious anti-Castro/anti-Cuba political agenda.




We therefore, in the name of justice and mercy, beseech you, Madam Speaker, to use the auspices of your high office to render unto these hapless victims JUSTICE, MERCY and their FREEDOM.


Yours sincerely,
