L.A. Billboard Demands 'Free the Five'

On Friday morning, February 1st, community activists gathered on the famous Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, to unveil this billboard proudly proclaiming "Free the Cuban Five Unjustly Held in U.S. Prisons."

After seeing images of the billboard on Cuban television, this message was sent by the families of the Five:

"Receive our warmest embrace for this magnificent action that you all have achieved, the result of your tenacious effort and the sense of responsibility with which you all have worked. Please transmit our message of appreciation to each and every person who, in one form or another, has made it possible for this project to become a reality. This shows that we are not mistaken when we say, the people of the United States have it in their hands for justice to prevail in the case of our Five sons."
