That this House expresses concern at the trial and detention in the United States of America of Cuban nationals Antonio Guerrero Rodriguez, Fernando Gonzalez Llort, Gerardo Hernandez Nordelo, Ramon Labanino Salazar and Rene Gonzalez Sehwerert - known as the Miami Five; finds that the nature of the charges, the location of the trial in Miami Florida in an atmosphere of media and public intimidation and the length of the sentences subsequently handed down, calls into question the safety of the judicial process; notes the denial of entry to the immediate families to visit the detainees in the United States of America.; calls on the United States government to support the petition for a retrial and ensure that it is held in a jurisdiction that guarantees a fair trial.An example letter (MS Word) is available for amending and sending off to your MP.
