Cuban Council of Churches Affirms Commitment to the Cuban People Cuban Council of Churches (CIC) President, the Reverend Marcial Miguel Hernandez, affirmed his organization’s commitment to the Cuban people and his solidarity with the cause of the five Cuban antiterrorist fighters held in US jails. The religious leader recalled that 10 years ago protestant churches held four public celebrations of national impact, an occasion to be recalled next July 11 with a religious cult.   “Will the impunity continue under [Obama's] mandate?” Ricardo Alarcon at the Theological Seminary in Matanzas, on the 80th anniversary of the Hispanic-American Evangelical Congress in Havana. “He (Obama) knows that the Constitution gives the president the power to withdraw the disgraceful charges that were the basis of legal proceedings plagued by arbitrariness and violations from day one.”   US Personalities React to Supreme Court Decision not to Review the case of the Cuban Five Noam Chomsky: "It is shameful, but regrettably not surprising". Marjorie Cohn: “Justice has suffered a severe blow". Mayor of Richmond, California: “It is an outrage that these five men continue to be unjustly imprisoned for peacefully protecting their country against terrorist attacks". Rev. Lucius Walker: "President Obama has a lot of soul-searching to do behind his administration's posit ion, and the Supreme Court's decision".   US Reverend Demands Justice for the Cuban Five Reverend Dr. Michael Kinnamon, General Secretary of the National Council of Churches of Christ (NCC) in the United States, advocated more solidarity and demanded justice for the five Cuban antiterrorists incarcerated in the US. Kinnamon expressed his disagreement with the denial of entry visas for the wives of Gerardo and Rene, and added that over the last few months letters were sent to migratory authorities so Adriana Perez and Olga Salanueva could visit their husbands in prison.     American Bishop Gumbleton will continue working for the Cuban Five Jun, 27 2009 Three-Continental Organization Demands Justice in Cuban Five Case Jun, 25 2009 Cuban workers movement joined national voices demanding justice for the Five Jun, 23 2009 Cuban Journalists called honest colleagues worldwide, to step up information on the case of the Five Jun, 23 2009 Free the Cuban 5: "Mr. Obama, tear down these walls!"
