Yes, I would like to join this appreciation expressed above! As living in Germany I can't be with you at the event either.
May I share a just atmost topical issue for the international campaign for the release of the Cuban Five with you? – On October 13, there had been the first hearing for the resentencing of 3 of them in Miami, the one for Antonio Guerrero. In a former article your were so kind as to mention the case by breaking the silence around it launched by the mainstream medias. In his comment Larry Birns referred especially to the judge, Joan Lenard, having exposed their first exhorbitant and unjustified sentences. Please, dear ladies and gentlemen, be so kind again to inform your readers about the new development of the case.

Although I cannot be there, please allow me to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude to the fine journalists and editors of Semana for remaining committed to the true principles and examples of journalism. As a U.S. citizen, I greatly appreciate your daring contribution to understanding the situations your citizens face — for your coverage of DAS alone, you should be worldwide heroes of journalism for decades.
