Five Cuban men — the “Cuban Five” — have been in U.S. jails for over eight years. They were seeking to expose organizers of terrorism against Cuba. The appeal process has not yet run its course. For more information, visit www.freethefive.org or www.antiterroristas.cu.

Ricardo Palmera, known as Simón Trinidad, served the Revolutionary Army Forces of Colombia as a peace negotiator. The CIA arranged his capture in Ecuador in 2003. Extradited to the U.S., Palmera is in solitary confinement. His first trial ended as a mistrial, but he faces more. His alleged guilt, in essence, is that of association. For more information, see www.freericardopalmera.org.

Letters tell the imprisoned that friends are on their side. And they remind jailers that the world is watching.
