Lawyers for Cuban agents vows last-ditch appeal
Thomas Goldstein, a Washington-based Supreme Court litigator, said he would take the case all the way to America's highest court if necessary, and that if the appeal fails, it will mean "the end of the road" for the legal process in the case. After that, he said, the only hope would be a political solution. Rene Gonzalez's lawyer, Phil Horowitz, said he would also appeal that probation decision shortly. He said the 55-year-old dual Cuban-American citizen is working as a caretaker at a private home, but would not reveal the location out of concern for his client's security.

Amnesty International labels as UNFAIR the trial of the Cuban Five

In its Report 2011, Amnesty International made a reference again to the case of the five Cubans imprisoned in the United States.  In this occasion the case is included in the section dedicated to the United States in the segment of Unfair Trials. It is important to point out that it is the only trial classified by Amnesty International as UNFAIR in the United States

In June, a new appeal was filed in the case of Gerardo Hernández, one of five men convicted in 2001 of acting as intelligence agents for Cuba and related charges. The appeal was based, in part, on evidence that the US government had secretly paid journalists to write prejudicial articles in the media at the time of trial, thereby undermining the defendants’ due process rights. In October, Amnesty International sent a report to the Attorney General outlining the organization’s concerns in the case.
