From NATIONAL COMMITTEE TO FREE THE CUBAN FIVE:

http://www.freethefive.org/whoarethefive.htm

"The Cuban Five are five Cuban men who are in U.S. prison, serving four life sentences and 75 years collectively, after being wrongly convicted in U.S. federal court in Miami, on June 8, 2001.

They are Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando González and René González.

The Five were falsely accused by the U.S. government of committing espionage conspiracy against the United States, and other related charges."

I saw a good documentary recently of the notable, outspoken cinematographer Haskell Wexler. Good documentaty mind you, but one of the most memorable (humorous) scenes was when he goes to visit the lawyer who represents the Miami Five.
