Also
known as the Miami 5: In December, 2002, five Cubans were convicted
ofespionage in Miami. They were [from the bottom left in the picture at left
and continuing clockwise] René González, Fernando González,
Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labanino, and Antonio Guerrero. All were
given prison sentences of 15 years to life. According to the Cuban government,
the five indeed were agents of Cuba that were sent to Miami to infiltrate the
anti-Castro groups, what combined are known as the "Miami Mafia", that were
believed to have been responsible for "terrorist" bombings in Cuba in the late
1990s. Regardless, the five are now scattered across the U.S. in the federal
penitentiary system. Their images are everywhere in Cuba, especially in the
tourist hotels and sites, and their story is that of sacrifice. They sacrificed
their freedom in order to give Cubans freedom from the "Miami Mafia." In the
city and in the countryside, it is hard to pass a day in Cuba without being
reminded of the Five Heroes, as witnessed in the following images.
